Bands on then off, then on, then off

#1 Post by hidakat »

Getting a bit frustrated with this midline correction. I had some progress a couple of months ago, which felt promising, but my canines are clashing on the right side, and my teeth still only touch in 3 or 4 places. Ugh! I wear my rubber bands religiously when I'm told to, but my ortho keeps changing things up. I'll wear them for a few months, then not for a while, then put them on again, and this month I'm off them again. Is this normal? He SAYS I'm on track to remove my braces in February, but with my bite feeling the way it does I'm pretty skeptical.
