Hey everyone! Another braces update for you guys (and myself for the sake of documentation)!
I can't say I'm thrilled with today's appointment- I'll tell you why.
Had my Ortho appointment 3 hours ago and thankfully I'm not as sore as I was expecting I would be so that was a PLUS. As soon as I arrived, the assistant (who I adore) got to work on removing my Powerchains before my Ortho came in. Whew, no discomfort. Another plus. He had me do all the usual- "bite down,
Sportin my new white Powerchains today!
*NEW 24 hour update with pics at bottom!!*
So today is *drumroll* my 9 month anniversary of my braces!! I also had my Orthodontic check up to celebrate the occasion. Heh. More great news and more great progress!
Had my appointment at 10:30 this morning, and I knew I was due for a new set of Powerchains since I had just gone 6 weeks without having them so I was prepared for that.
So tonight I was taking my normal 3 week progression photos when I realized three things.
1) The time is FLYING by so fast that I feel like I'm taking pics every week even though I'm not.
2) My bite has changed a LOT in just the last 3.5 weeks.
and 3) I've really come to love (and appreciate) my Elastics! lol!
Being that I never really had a 'bite' per-say, it is so wonderfully awkward biting down without teeth hitting and poking the roof of my mouth.
It's been about 16 hours since my Ortho/Dental Appointment and I'm still feelin the discomfort.
I blogged last week that I had an appointment in 2 days but my Ortho had a last-minute cancellation and had to reschedule me for this week. I was already set for my 3 month cleaning and polishing with my Hygienist and since they're in the same office we try and schedule them at the same time. I was excited to get my teeth all nice and pretty again and switch to a clear or white powerchain!
Hey Bracesreview.com members!
This is my first Blog and while I was gonna start with all my background information, I figured since I'm only 2 days away from my next adjustment I'd just start in "real time" on this one.
I am currently at 7.5 mos into my Braces and in the last 6 weeks I have had TONS done in my Orthodontic Treatment! Had an Adjustment on Jan 31st where my Ortho put on my back molar brackets that had popped off in the early stages of
