So uhhh, no the braces didn't come off yesterday. In fact in the last month one of my teeth moved back to where it was pre-braces

I have 3/4s of my top row wrapped with silver wire to keep them in place while the other 1/4 had the regular clear bands on. They were supposed to move around to fill in a small gap. Instead of filling in the gap one tooth opted to go retro

So now I have a power chain on that part (rest still wrapped) trying to force that tooth back into submission. The ortho said they may come off next month but I'm not too optimistic. I forgot how quickly and strongly these power chains work compared to regular bands.

    I havent seen you around the forum, but in any regards, im glad you here/back. This is a fabulous place to talk about the life of the wired ones. Looking forward keeping in touch via your blog, hope all goes well.

    Sorry that the news wasn't better, but it sounds like your teeth just weren't ready to be set free!

    It's fantastic you have powerchains as they're amazing and can achieve fantastic movement, especially when it comes to gaps and getting teeth back into side by side alignment.

    Hopefully everything will be ready for a release date next month!

    Anny the same thing happened to me on my last visit. I was hoping that I'd be brace-free by now but one of my bottom tooth is rotated (once again). My ortho has been focusing on getting it back aligned since my last adjustment. She told me by the end of the month I'd probably be debonding but I won't be surprised if this prolongs for another month or two.

    Hope your progress runs smoothly & quickly!

    Thanks for the support all

    Hey Lauralea, I hang on the forums sometimes but since I don't log in daily I usually fall behind on the topics
