Week 72 - Adjustment 11
Posted 04-03-2008 at 09:59 AM by Sunny
August 2006 - taken when first wore Class III elastics
December 2006 - four months of Class III elastics ... love the widened smile!
On 20 December I had my 11th adjustment.
Uppers - new ligs and lowers a new powerchain.
I asked for the same powerchain ... that gorgous grape (blue purple) shade ... I love it. I asked if the upper ligs could be changed, as they've faded heaps and my lovely Ortho said they could. I was planning to choose black, but with his hands in my mouth, my ortho started putting new ones on ... they're purple ... and of course I'm cool with that.
He again reminded me, that's my treatment is all about elastics now! I'm sure my class III is getting real close to being gone ... but it's just seems to be going slow. My ortho gave me two more bags of elastics ... as he doesn't want me having an excuses for down time! I've been wearing elastics for 4 1/2 months ... wonder how many more of those little things I'll be putting on hooks and between upper and lower jaws ...
I love these appointments ... short, sweet, informative ... and positive!
I've got another long gap till my next adjustment ... so I've decided that by the time I go back ... my bite WILL BE class I ... it really WILL ... I promise myself ... it WILL!

Wow! Sunny you certainly have come a long way. Your journey has been a powerful motivator for me - I love, love, love your positive attitude. I bet the dental assistants and your orthodontist look forward to seeing you for each visit. An attitude, such as yours, can only make your treatment a success.
Thanks again for all of your support
