3 September Adjustment News

Posted 09-03-2008 at 06:15 PM by mariahfromchicago
Well I have great news:
- The gap made up its mind and closed!
- The ortho said the uppers look great and did nothing to them! =D
- There is only one thing that needed to be done: That is the bend in the lower wire to bring that tooth forward and de-rotate
- Seems like I won't need elastics! I hear that they are a pain and I don't need them! YES!
- The lower teeth hurt but the uppers don't! ^_^
- Now the treatment is all about bending the wire!
- Looks like I won't have braces when I go to Paris over spring break!
- Looks like they will be off sometime in March, as long as there are no screw-ups! =)
- Spring break is in April!

Only 2 problems:
- My gum was bleeding a little bit because lately I haven't really been flossing. That is a wake-up call for me to begin flossing again or else I will have swollen gums and perfect teeth! O_O So my advice, FLOSS or else
- It looks like from my x-rays (I looked at the folder, I don't have the X-Ray ), I have an impacted 2nd molar! O_O Oh great... And I saw a wisdom tooth growing! No! Extraction! I am scared >_>

So my next appointment is 29 October!

What a funny con-wink-a-dink (sorry about that) my next appoinment is on Oct. 29th too. I just had my final wire put it and I remember them spending a lot of time bending the wire precisily. Your very lucky if you don't need elastics I had to wear mine 24/7 for 6 months and what a pain. Taking them out for lunch and then feeling the need to brush before putting them back in school. Felt like everyone's eyes were on me as I put them back in (Especially the first couple days when I still needed a mirror to see where I was putting them.Everyone staring as I tryed to balance the hand mirror and get the elastics in. Good times.) But wearing them as directed payed off and now the orthodontist has put me on night-wear-only. I'm so excitied for you that you'll have them off before spring break. Hopefully there are no mess ups and they come off as scedualed. I know its what you've been waiting for. Also glad that gap decided to come to it senses and close up.So now were on the same countdown for our next appoinment: 1 month 3 weeks & 5 days till next app!!!!

It's just so far away I'm so excitied because at this appoinment is when I'll sceduale the removal date. A BIG deal because I really want them off before 2009. We've gone through way too many years together.

Fantastic news Mariah ... pleased you stopped worrying, coz it would have been wasted!

Great you don't need elastics. I've found them a breeze, but it's just one more thing, that if you don't need, then that's good for you!

Here's to your wonderful progress continuing!
