Ellebraced

Hi guys

Well Its true braces get very boring. I had my 10th adjustment they said everything looked GOOD and I did a great job wearing my elastics to move my lower jaw forward/upper backwards so now after about 6 months of the same elastic configuration I am now in the holding position (upside down triangles) I can't believe my jaw is finally where it should be, I started with a 10mm overbite which is crazy and now its great with only elastics use and wire adjustments, no forsus springs needed. I was VERY diligent wearing them 24/7 (minus a couple hours at a Christmas party) I must say the other elastic configuration I could eat with and brush my teeth with, this one is a bit more restrictive and noticeable but hopefully it wont be for too long.

So I will post pictures later (promise) though my teeth look about the same, somewhat near the end just a punch of little tweaks, a root on my upper fang has really popped out and hurts like a SOB to touch so he is moving that a bit.

I am internally hoping that I have 18 months total (original estimate was 18-28 months) which would mean 136 more days, off in time for the summer, my grams 97th bday and my 11th anniversary but who knows, I think its good to have goals and if it doesn't happen I will have to start another count down. My ortho at one time when pressured said by the end of this year and maybe summer. ???

Hope everyone is doing well, winter is almost over and your teeth are behaving and moving where they should.
