Hey everyone! My name is Jenn. I'm 19 and I currently have metal braces on my upper arch as of 4/23/09. I had my lower braces put on 6/4/09.

Hey all, my life is still pretty busy but I get on here whenever I can remember! So yesterday I had another ortho appointment. Currently I am one wire away on both my top and bottom arches from my ideal archwire..which is rectangular. ew. Apparently it will help with my overjet and torque and move my bone around.

First Adjustment

Posted 07-25-2009 at 01:01 AM by jenn773 (19 with Braces)

But I really wanted to post a blog to tell you guys how things went! Well I ended up not getting new wires just some powerchains..those are fun..not.

I have a 2 link chain ( looks like this 00) from my upper canine to my first premolar to get it to rotate some more. and then i have the second little...

Comments Before My 1st Adjustment

Posted 07-13-2009 at 02:37 AM by jenn773 (19 with Braces)

My very 1st archwire switch is this Thursday and I thought I would make a blog to tell/show you guys what I'm looking to have improved with new wires! I took some better quality pictures this time..although a tad blurry in one (sorry!) and I went and pointed to the areas where I personally would like to see more improvement in! Chime in if you see some things I don't! Here goes!


Upper Arch- I am really impressed with the movement that has happened in just two and a half months!...
