These things are totally horrid! I managed to wear them - - 4 hours on Thursday - 19 hours (10 hr, 9 hr) on Friday - 19 hours (9 hr, 10 hr) on Saturday ... I'm not counting Thursday ... as that's when I got them, but Friday was a holiday and Saturday's the 'real' weekend ... so both days are short by 3 hours. I can't work out how I'm going to fit that extra 3 hours in ... plus if I decide to have a life (like go off my property) ... I'm not sure ...
Finally it was my turn to have 'chair time' on Thursday. After the usual umming and arring ... my ortho announced that my braces must come off soon ... they've been on far too long ... like this is news to me! Anyway he's unhappy that my bite is still open (which happened during treatment ... it was closed in the beginning) and that my upper teeth are so far to the right. He said without surgery these things (and a few others) cannot be corrected properly, but they need to be improved. ...
