Adjustments

Welp, I had my adjustment today. Not too much has changed. She did something funky with the existing wires, but it wasn't too bad putting them back in .. which was fantastic! She stated that everything looks good, yay! But, that the rest of the movement is my bottom teeth and how quick the elastics work and how well I am disciplined with wearing them. They're pulling my back teeth forward? I'll take a picture in a bit .. I'm still stuck with the molar buildups. No big deal. They're just there right ...

Well, it turns out that my top wire shifted and was poking my cheek, hence the nice big gaping hole/sore that I have on the inside of my mouth.

So, I enjoyed a chocolate milkshake instead and soup. I did end up with a light elastic on the right hand side, but my teeth hurt so much that I don't even really notice it. I was wondering what would happen if I didn't wear it consistently. I'll try and be good about it. The GREAT news is ...

So, today I went in for an adjustment to get upgraded to stronger wires. I think they should write notes in my file that putting wires on my
top teeth is a big pain in the butt!! Everytime it's been done, it's been a pain for the poor technician. I was
supposed to have a really strong wire put on the top and she tried several things before she gave up and told the ortho what was happening. I ended
up with an intermediate wire. I guess my molars need to move a bit to ...
