Now that I'm in the heaviest wire on top, the pressure has been cranked up to move the molar behind the gap - forward.
The teeth in front of the gap - four of them - are wired together. The gap has a tight coil (?) piece (what is the name for all of this?) that is shortened with each visit between the two brackets on each side of the gap.
Now, I'm back in elastics, with a small, heavy elastic attached on the molar behind the gap, and the left canine bottom tooth.
I'm wearing elastics 12 hours a day.
These teeth have been in these spots for years.
