Horray!

At my last adjustment, on November 5th, my ortho gave me elastics. He told me to wear them at least 20 hours a day, but the more the better. I've definitely been wearing them more than 20 hours. I only take them off to eat and brush.

I have noticed severe improvements in the past few weeks. For example, the vertical gap between my front top and bottom teeth is nearly non existent now. Never in my life have my top and bottom teeth touched. It's such a weird feeling! I can actually chew and bite food with my front teeth. I'm really excited about these improvements, and how quickly they have happened. I'm hoping this means I can get my braces off soon.

The only downside lately is that I've been having bad headaches. I'm not sure if these are related to my braces, but they are killing me. ]]> cellardoor http://www.bracesreview.com/forums/blogs/cellardoor/233-update-update.html http://www.bracesreview.com/forums/blogs/weeeyin/232-2-weeks-who-am-i-kidding.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 11:10:47 GMT Saw the clincheck on Saturday, looks great, he mentioned the result wont be as good as the actual computer graphic - says it never is and he might... Saw the clincheck on Saturday, looks great, he mentioned the result wont be as good as the actual computer graphic - says it never is and he might have to finish me off with tracks if I'm not happy (wee bit gutted about that).

Says I've LOADS of filing down to be done to create the space - scared stiff coz I've never even had a filling, hope it doesn't hurt!

I never counted up the number of aligners i'm due to get - it looked quite a lot...well to me anyways. The end result looks like it'll be nice.

9 attachments proposed in total, 5 top & 4 bottom

My 22 month "braceversary" was yesterday.

I co-operated well with wearing the rubber bands.

Here's to good news on the 23rd of December, when hopefully my last adjustment is and I finally get to find out when I am finally going to get the braces off. =)
