"fine tuning"

#1 Post by zdenka »

So my ortho has been hinting about entering the final stage of treatment and today I went in for some "fine tuning" I am in hell. I swear my teeth didn't hurt this bad since day one. I just need to suck it up.

On the positive note, she also said I had 4 - 6 months left; 1 -3 months ahead of treatment :)
Total sentence 567 days. :)

Awesome, you very close. The further along you go the heavier the wires get. which can be pretty painful.

Yeah, I have had the same wire for a couple of months now. It is the little dents and twists she made that hurt like hell. I am better now. Only took 3 days. :wink:

Congratulations :mrgreen: I'm envious!! My daughter got told today that she has one more adjustment and then they're taking hers off in august (I'm jealous of her too :P). She also said before I dropped her off at school that her teeth haven't hurt this bad since the start. Hope they're feeling a bit better soon!
