Quick 24 Hour Update

Hi!

So far I just have a little soreness but it's only on certain teeth. Mainly, the ones where my brackets were repostioned. I forgot to mention in yesterdays post, that when my ortho popped my brackets off, I had to rinse, since he had grinded all the glue off and I had glue particles in my mouth *blech* Anyway, I was able to see 3 of my teeth and they look awesome. Really looking forward to being debanded now. I know that's a ways off though.

Oh! I took pictures and was kind of sad because I already stained my ligs... They're a nice yellow tint. :( It makes me want to go back to the ortho office and ask them to replace them with colored ligs. But I don't want to make the trip out there. I'll just deal with it. lol

See ya!

Week 78: Adjustment 13 Done!

Hi!

I'm back from the ortho and already feeling pressure.

I had an xray done, so they could check to make sure my roots were ok, which I'm guessing they were. I had 3 brackets replaced. One on the upper left and two on the lower right. My upper left bracket had a split in it. Makes me wonder how that happened.

I was also downgraded to a flimsy wire so that we don't pop off my new brackets and I guess to start getting things lined up. I don't know what size the wire is though. =/

I didn't get colored ligs because the ortho assistant started putting them on too fast for me to even noticed what she was doing. :(

When my ortho was popping my brackets off, it really wasn't that bad. So I think I'll be able to handle having my braces taken off.  :)

Oh! I also have a bend in my lower wire. :D It's the little things that make me happy. lol

Anyway, that's all for now.

I noticed not too long after my adjustment that my gap between my two front teeth started opening up again.The ortho assistant didn't put a powerchain on my teeth this time, she just put ligs.

I don't really have a lot to say about my lowers, besides having the mini bend in the wire.

Don't really know what it's for.

*I'm just glad that I had my adjustment and there is some movement. I do know that I will have a wire change at my next adjustment. Not really looking forward to that because I'm not looking forward to being in pain. My teeth are finally just starting to settle down somewhat. But this adjustment really wasn't that bad. Just had a little soreness.

Bye

Week 77

Hi!

No new pictures for this week. Everything is still the same. I'll take some on Monday after my 13th Adjustment. (Hoping I'm not asking for pain) But I'm honestly ready for this next adjustment. I just want to see movement again. lol Tired of looking at my teeth and not seeing progress. (I probably shouldn't look at my teeth constantly) I'm even hoping to start elastics again. I just want to see changes!

One thing I have noticed is that my 1st molars are a bit loose and they're making the creak, creak, creak sound again. It's pretty amusing and of course, I can't help but do it more. Does that make me weird?

Oh well, that's all for now!

Bye!

Week 76

Hi!

Yes, I know I skipped 75 but I just didn't feel like there was any progress... so no pictures for last week.

I still don't really know if I'm going to take pictures for this week because everything still looks the same.

I was bold yesterday! I was eating pizza and got tired of having to cut my pizza up with my fork, so I picked the pizza up and used my front teeth and bit into it. I didn't have any problems, since the pizza was pretty soft..

But I tried to eat a toasted bagel without tearing it into smaller pieces and that didn't work.. it actually kind of hurt.. and I had to check and make sure I didn't break anything because I kind of felt my brackets give just a little. lol Oops.

Oh well, one of these days, I'll be able to eat like an unbraced person again. :p

My adjustment is getting closer and closer, only thing I know is that my brackets will be repositioned. So I'll get to see what debracing is going to be like. But, I'll also have a date with the spreaders... I HATE those things....

Ok, rambling complete.

Later!

Week 74

Hi!

Well I'm a bit sad because my phone decided to be a butthole and delete all of my pictures, so the pictures that I was supposed to add to my blog for the last 4 weeks are gone. :( So I'll just have to start over with new pictures.

Anyway, I really don't have any news. As far as I can tell, I'm still at a standstill.

Finally at the slow part of my treatment and I don't like it. But the cool thing is, I only have about a year until my braces come off!  :)

Well that's all for now.

As promised, here are my pictures.

I think it's amazing how one side can look better than the other.

 My left side looks really good but my right side still needs a lot of work. lol
