Really Teeth? This is what you're doing now?

So that power chain has been whipping my mouth into shape! I think the errant tooth is almost back to where it should be (according to my ortho, not Mother Nature ) and its been moving all its power chainned buddies along. Last night I had to take a Motrin in the middle of the night because the pressure was so intense!

Of course now the bottom teeth are getting into the realignment action so I'm sure they'll be sore for a day or two. Its not as bad as the tops yesterday and I'm med free but just amazed by how quickly teeth move!

Its kind of neat to be reminded this close to the end of treatment what a miracle braces are. I guess miracle is too strong a word for something man-made that can be scientifically explained and replicated but when I look at my teeth all I can think some days is "Man, its a miracle!"

    Fantastic to read that your teeth are making so much progress. I can never understand why some people make powerchains sound so evil. I've loved the progress powerchains and elastics can make ... and that's gotta be a good thing!

    Good luck with this great progress getting you naked teeth at your next appointment!

    Congrats! I am 31 and still have about 8 months left in my treatment (as estimated right now). I can't wait for this to be over, and you're right...it IS a miracle!!
