My appointment went just as I was hoping. I got my 4 original arch wires taken out and 4 very sturdy wires put in. I also got 2 power chains. I knew I would get one but was surprised to get two. He also said my jaw alignment is getting worse. (That's what's causing all my TMJ problems.) He asked if I grind or clench my teeth at night. I told him that I know I clench but probably grind as well. He's hoping that my power chains will help fix that. We're hoping to jaw surgery to happen late spring or early summer of next year.

BTW, I got silver power chains and I can hardly see them. Of course, my elem. school kids I tutor will notice them. They see everything.
