So the pain in my mouth is finally at a much much more managable level. Extractions are healing nicely, the ulcer behind my canine is almost gone, AND my super crooked bottom canines have moved a significant amount- just since Monday!! The top teeth are moving- I can feel the difference when I run my tongue along the backside. They are not as lumpy bumpy as they used to be. In two weeks I go for my first adjustment and for what he calls "some real orthodontics" lol. He keeps emphasizing the elastics, so I have a feeling I will be getting them sooner rather than later. Here's to the good days, everyone!!
