Yipee! Spring off!!
Hey There!
I am so excited!!
I went for adjustment today and got my spring off!! I am so glad. My lowers feel better already. My bottom lip was getting so torn up.
They tied in my wayward tooth and slenderized, too. So I am a little bit sore, but ready for the tooth to be pulled forward. I will be taking lots of progress shots in the next few days/weeks to see that tooth moving!!
Can't wait to post new pics!

That is great!!
I have a spring too. I've only had my braces on for about two weeks. How long before you go to take the spring off? Did they say how long the process of it moving into place should be?? I'm sure it depends on the person just wondering what they told you. Congrads on that!!!
Got my braces off 9/20/07 after 19 months and 3 weeks. WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!
I got a spring put into today after getting braced just 1 week ago.
Dentist warned that this may be sort of painful...since apparantly it's pushing 2 teeth to move Already I can't bite down with my front teeth @ all.
I have the same concerns as the poster above ^^ .... my next appt. iz a month from today.

UPDATE on Spring!!
UPDATE - UPDATE!!!
It has only been 8 hours since they removed my spring and tied in the wayward tooth...............I cannot believe the pain I am in (just took Advil) and the movement that has already taken place!
It is incredible! The tooth has pulled forward already! I am going to bed, as my mouth is really bothering me and will let you know tomorrow if this has progressed any more through the night!!

Well....
I made it through the night...........but boy am I still in pain (more Advil, please!)
The tooth has moved more. I can tell a huge difference when I slide my tongue on the backs of my teeth. I have felt a "ridge/bump" forever. It is gone!
I feel like calling my ortho today or going in there and giving him a big hug. My lowers have change so much. I never knew what a real arch was supposed to look like. It is incredible.
Today I will be eating soups/shakes. I haven't had this much pain in a few months. The archwire is definitely doing its job. ALSO, I had slenderizing done yesterday, so my teeth are double sore. I can also tell my bite is off - - which means movement!!
I'll check in later with progress..........bye for now.

Well,
The pain has subsided since Monday's adjustment!! Thank Goodness! Back to eating - again. It was pretty tough biting into things the first couple of days this week. The progress has been incredible. My wayward tooth has finally found its home.......though the teeth still need to do some realigning............time, time time!!!
