I have been MIA as I had problems logging in but that seems to be resolved now.

The wire in my upper left molar all the way in the back moved a bit during the last week prior to my recent adjustment. It actually came out of the bracket a tiny but so I know this adjustment would be a doozy.

I got my recent adjustment on Tuesday, April 6 and some bends were put into the top wire . The wire on the bottom was changed to a stronger wire. I didn't feel much when I initially had the wire in but by Tuesday night, I felt like I was back to square one but without the blisters.

I could not bite down. When I did, I thought I saw stars. As long as I didn't bite down, I was fine and the presurre was tolerable without pain medication. The sensitivty finally subsided on Saturday so I am back to eating normally. I am still wearing an elastic bad from the top right incisor to the bottom left incisor at nights but a weaker strength.

My next adjustment will be on Tuesday, May 4 at which time my ortho will do a panoramic xray to check to see what roots need to be moved. I told him I didn't like the sound of that but he said not to worry. By the next adjustment I will be 10 days from my 1 year braces anniversary. I anticipate I will be out of these babies by my November 2010 adjustment or early December 2010. Then, I go for a pre-molar implant on the lower left side.
