I went in to get my spacers removed and,
I thought, to put on my 4 molar bands.
The assistant fits all the molar bands then the ortho comes in and takes them off then refits them, then takes them off.

I thought he was putting adhesive on all of them..the applied the 2 bottom ones, then the top...then he took the top off again.
Then he orders the assistant to do a mold of my upper mouth. She does the mold then puts back in the spacers on top..thenI find out the ortho is ordering me a TPA device!

Also they hooked nothing to my bottom molar bands...they're there for show?
So I came home and looked up exactly what a TPA was, and it does not look fun.

I had my first "Ugh take it all out of my mouth, I quit!" moment. The only good thing is that the molar bands aren't hurting and neither are the spacers. But I'm still stressed out about the TPA! I have 1 month to worry about it.
