Nervous & tons of questions

[coolestSamantha]

Ok so supposdly in 5 days I'm getting my "final wires". They are going to reposition some brackets & then give me the final wire. Or as so they said. I don't know if there is also a "detial wire after this". As you can see my orthodontist has not been very clear. Anyways all I know is its a 2 hour appoinment. There is a way for me to view my photos and upcoming appoinments on this program my orthodontist as. Televox or something. Well in the description it says "16X16,pan" what does that mean?
I'm so nervous but hopefully it goes well.

I'd assume that's a 0.016 inch x 0.016 inch wire, and a panoramic X-ray (to check the positions of the roots).

In my own treatment, my ortho moved me down from the heaviest wire I had (which I had for and immedictaley after surgery) into a lighter wire for detailing, so this sounds like it could be a detailing wire.

Ok thank you this helps. But knowing my orthodontist its probably going to be the "final wire" & I'll still need a whole other wire. Well anyways I'm close to getting them off.
