    hey all,

  4. Tooth shaping done, yet another bigger wire...done-OUCH!

    by , 08-16-2010 at 12:42 PM
    Hello all,
    So my last appointment was interesting.
    I had a Pan xray to see my root movement, and so far the ortho is happy with that.
    He actually didnt seem to pleased with how quick my teeth were moving, im not sure about this one. He said he didnt expect them to move this quick, and that we are ahead of the ballgame. He also said that we are looking about taking them off in the next few visits (4-5 months??)
    He did shape the teeth a little, I have very round teeth, ...

  5. First checkup/adjustment

    by , 04-27-2010 at 08:07 PM
    So i go in to the ortho today, not aware that it is a differnt ortho (they do the whole 2-3 orthos per office thing), and I was dissapointed to note that they didnt change one thing! They just took the wire out, and put the exact same one back in!! Its been over 2 months now and no change?!?!?!? I dont know if its because of the ortho that saw me isint aware of my case, or if its to do with him being new (just recently became a ortho) and not knowing what to do with my case. Anyhow, im slightly ...

  7. One countdown over, new one begins

    by , 02-23-2010 at 11:39 PM
    Tomorow, Tomorow, its only a day away.....
    Or in my case 10 hrs before ill be wired up again. Unfortunatly, im nervous and perhaps slightly shy about having to go to work afterwards. I dont know, ah well.
    I started taking pics of before, and my plan is to take a pic every night for the duration of treatment and make a quick movie out of it. Hope it works.
    And yes, I have lots of water and chapstick ready to go for tomorow.
