Hi everyone,

I just came back from my first adjustment. Nothing eventfull.
Just got a thicker wire. I asked my ortho to shave one of my teeth that was hitting a bracket, but instead he shaved the bracket.
Now I can really close my bite.

I got a .16 NiTi wire and I will be going back for my 2nd adj. on 12 feb.

I will post my pictures so you can compare for yourself if there are or aren't movements.....I think there are some movements.

DAY 1

WEEK 4

Things are looking good Marvin!
Your wire looks straighter than before and the gaps look smaller already! I hope lots of positive changes come between now and February.

Good luck!
Sim

Hi everyone,

I just want to answer the questions of linda21,

Heavier wire on both arches?
Yes I got a heavier wire on both arches, the ortho said to put some extra strenght so a few teeth will move for the next adjustment.

How does my bite feel?
Wonderfull, earlier I was always concious of hitting the bracket (chewing and my speech was a little uncomfortable).
Now he shaved the bracket I can still feel the bracket, but not enough to knock it off. So my chewing and speech is alot better this time. Very happy.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic time with their braces, cos I'm doing very well. Still no pain, no wax and no OTC meds.

Bye.....Marvin

Welcome Marvin!

And don't worry, your teeth will shift and you will no longer feel the bracket when you bite down.

I remember thinking I was going to knock one of mine off too (in the back), but within a few weeks I couldn't feel it at all.

Be Encouraged!

Looking better already Marvin! That's awesome that you've got a thicker wire on already. You should be really pleased. Looking forward to seeing your updates.

Hi everyone,

Time does really fly. I haven't posted anything since my 1st adj. I am very busy with work and this time here in Aruba is CARNAVAL time, so party everywhere.

I just came back from my 2nd adj. nothing happened really. The doc just put new o-rings, he left the same wire in, but told me that everything looks ok.
I will be back for my 3rd adj. in 4 weeks (12 march).

I will post my pictures so you can judge for yourself if there are any movements.

DAY 1

2nd adj. WEEK 8

Wow, Marvin, great pics! I see movement for sure; your wires are really getting a lot straighter.

Enjoy Carnival - I wish I was there! It's an event I'd like to go to sometime during my life!
