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

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

Finally when he was...
