Boring adjustment...

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 now. I have a powerchain on the top to close some gaps that the elastics opened. I'll be happy when those gaps are gone. The powerchain is tight, but no real pain .. at least not yet. I have heavy elastics now and I can tell the difference. Much tighter!

My next appointment will be in Feb and that will mean that I had my top braces on for a year!

    Your post sounds exactly like me! Powerchain, elastics, and molar buildup. But one of my molar buildups broke off! Yay! I went to an adjustment and they didn't put more on so maybe I don't need it anymore. I hope the other one will break soon too. Here's hoping lol

    What's molar build up??

    Molar buildup is like a tiny blob of cement that goes on your molars to keep your bite open when you bite down. Here is a picture:

    That's cool I actually saw where my two teeth are meeting on the side..and they'd definitely would hit the bracket without the buildup. Sucks, but it's not that big of a deal anymore.

    How much longer do you have?
