SoCal

I haven't been keeping up with my blog on here but I had my 6th ortho appt today. He made a lot of changes and I left feeling very optimistic and excited about my treatment.

The wires stayed the same but he put in a coil to close make the gap where my implant will go the correct size. He removed the TAD which was very exciting because that was a pain to keep clean. He put some wires to hold my bottom front teeth in place in a crisscross pattern (not sure what this is called) and finally I now have a box elastic on my right side to close the gap between my top and bottom teeth.

It was exciting to have so much done in one appointment. I was more excited when my sister told me that she heard that elatics were used near the end of treatment. I am not sure how true that is but either way, I love see ing the progress! Thank you all for reading this and for posting your own experiences, they are very encouraging!
