So i've been extremely busy these last few weeks. havent gotten time to post pics and so forth. (new job demands)

Well here's a quick update. And i'll post pics as soon as I can.

I had an adjustment October 3rd....All went well......He took off the power chains on my upper front 4 and he put some on my lowers to shift soon teeth around and to close a small space.

My next adjustment was Oct 24 (yesterday) and i got some more wire ties below my coloured ligs (he said it was to keep the teeth that had already move in place while others move) so the teeth that moved to close the space naturally the space would have relocated. So now i have a weird power chain configuration to close that space too and i think he bent my wire on my left side before my molar wid the 1st band) it was awfully painful....
So i cant chew on that side of my mouth..but other than that I think im pretty much used to the adjustment pain....It just sucks sometimes when a tooth is sensitive/wobbly and he puts pressure on it to put a wire ties or powerchain or something like that. (I sometimes think that the tooth will break from all the pressure)

Oh well thats all for now...Will try my best to post pictures either later today or tomorrow evening...

Hi Nikkib,
Just wanted to comment on your most recent photos. Yes, there is a huge difference in the way your teeth look and you must be very happy. Hope you're not having too much discomfort after your last adjustment! Take care!
Dee

Hey Nikki,
Just wanted to let you know that since I've had my braces (only about 3 weeks now) my gap is already starting to close! I've been SO happy with that. I'm hoping that I will be able to get these things off much sooner than the initial two years he told me I would have to have them. Hope you're doing well!
Take care!

Thanks so much you guys...So here are some pics from my last adjustment.........

AGAIN IM SORRY FOR THE SIZE OF THE PICTURE...I KNOW ITS HUGE BUT I CANT SEEM TO CHANGE THAT :( HOPE YOU DONT MIND

Image

All is well with me for now....My bite is improving greatly. I hadnt notice that it was that much off only until teeth actually started to touch that i realize that the didnt use to do that before.
