Another Adjustment today! - PICS

#1 Post by MrsCharisma »

My ortho is quite happy with my progress and really, so am I. My diastema is closing rapidly and my teeth are lining up nicely. I'm only 5 months in yet, so still plenty of time left :) But we're moving right along! Still watching for that frenulum tissue to decide if it needs to get removed or not. I am leaning towards getting it cut though...as it's part of the reason that the teeth were able to quickly revert back after my first round of orthodontics.

No new wire on upper arch. Just replaced ties and powerchain. I was halfway back to work when I noticed the power chain wasn't hooked around the bottom bracket all the way. I thought I would have to go back (it's not "far" but it is about 20 minutes one way). I fixed it myself though.

I got a reverse curve wire for my bottom arch. Said it's to help open my bite. Until next time! :)

Wow! Really nice progress. I can't imagine your treatment will take much longer those teeth look really straight aside from the gap! Awesome.

Thanks everyone!

I'm totally crossing my fingers that I'll be done by this time next year.
