Here's a comparison collage of the past four years ... many changes ... events and non events!


You'll need to click on the image to get a better idea of what's been happening.

Here's to a naked photo taking the five year space!

My bite appears to be even more open, which is frustrating. My ortho assures me this is more of the 'it gets worse before it gets better' stuff ...


The gap over my impacted canine continues to close ... slowly ... but it's closing

I've been slack taking photos, but here's the latest.

Front


Left and Right

My ortho is happy that my upper right gap, over the impacted canine is continuing to close.

He's not so happy that my bite is still open and appears to be catching on a back molar, right side.

Powerchains were removed and both archwires removed and more bends put in on the right side.

New purple powerchains and I'm to continue with the same elastic configeration - Size 3/16".

• Left side - a triangle, from upper canine to lower

...

Frustrating ... I've been getting loads of progress on my upper right side. The frustrating part, is that I don't think my ortho was expecting movement to be this quick, and pressed the end of archwire between my first and second molars ... so today, the pressure of the 'bending' archwire got to be too much for the buccal molar bracket on my first molar ... and 'ping' ... it came off.

I'm not going to work tomorrow as my hubby has a couple of important appointments with his oncology...
