When I wore rubber bands for 19 months, mine were just marked with a blue "C". No animals or countries for me.

Oh I wish that meant I was almost done... I don't think so but that would be awesome.

So I've been anxiously waiting today's appointment since I knew i'd be getting my elastics. aaand...

Gorillas!! package says: Mountain Gorilla, gorilla beringei. Medium, Green.
He looks very calm, but now that they're in I realize his calm demeanor just means he was plotting something. Like yanking my jaw forward, yowch!

I asked about it and the assistant said that since she's been there they have been US presidents (which apparently no one could remember who was what strength when reordering), fruits (?!) and now animals. so strange.

I got elastics for the first time and oh boy do they hurt. I have Unicorns. They must be magic because I'm told I'll only wear them for one week. I have to loop it on my bottom first premolar, up and over the upper canine, and down on o the lower canine. It's awful, I basically can't open my mouth.

Numbers on on the bag say 3/16" (4,77mm) - 6.5 oz

My unicorn doesn't look angry :lol:

I ran out of my generic "Henry Something-or-other" elastics, so I requested that some be mailed to my home. I received "Spider" elastics; same size (4/16") and strength (X-Heavy Force). I must say I really like them, even better than my Jaguars before. They feel nice and tight when I first use them, which makes me feel like they're really working well!

I started with moose elastics and now have rams. Cute rams not angry ones. Lol. I suspect they are chosen based on local wildlife/ sports teams.

I've had foxes for a long time now, and one month of owls (very cute owls!). I'm now in bears on one side of my mouth and penguins on the other (the penguins are super cute too!). :lol:

I just got 'peregrine falcons' last week. Kinda cool, as we have quite a few birds of prey in this neck of the woods...
