Yesterday was my fourth major adjustment since having my braces put on in April. This time they increased my arch wire by a fraction of a millimeter, but went to a square wire that, like the last ones, are 'heat reactive', so eating/drinking anything cold does give me some sort of minor reprieve from the pain. This time, I don't have nearly the pain and sensitivity that I've experienced in the past.

What's new is that I now have a clear power chain, and they started me on elastics....

April 2009: no arch wire yet, had to have two teeth pulled. Everything else is on.


May 2009: arch wire is on, as is the horrible spring in the front.


June 2009: same as May, a bit of movement can be seen.
