Ligature wires and tongue-trainers!

#1 Post by fatty1403 »

I had my first adjustment on Friday, and a few of my coloured ligs popped off the next day. Since I had a holiday today, I decided to head down to the clinic and get it fixed, since my next appointment was due next month.

Well my ortho put on ligature wires on 2 of my brackets, and 1 of them has a o-ring over it. It hurts so bad! She really tightened it!

And I was due to get my tongue-trainer on Friday, but apparently, it didn't fit me! My molar bands were size 18, and so was the tongue-trainer, and she actually had to fit me into size 22 molar bands instead :/

Any of you with similar experiences?
