Aloha all!!
Wow, what a great appointment I had this morning! My ortho decided to be a “Chatty Cathy” (pun intended) today, and was cracking jokes right and left. Great day for questions! :lol: It's like he was in my head all this time, and answered all the questions I wanted to ask before I could even ask them. I honestly have nothing more to ask him about.
Good thing #1: He noticed that my upper central incisors overlapped (which I’ve noticed forever, but never had the
AND THE WORST…PAIN…EVAH!!!
Sorry for the mini-vent/rant ahead; I just have to let it out…
Well, the day I’ve been both hoping for (and dreading, at the same time) has come to be. The dreaded ZIGZAG ELASTICS are here!! He sprung these on me with no warning, whatsoever.

Anyway, I gobbled them up, and found out later that day that whatever the heck they put in with the meat stained my powerchain a nasty shade of amber. I mean, it was so bad, my friend asked me, "Why are your teeth so yellow?" I was able to keep this thing clean for over a
Time sure flies when you’re… well, TIME FLIES, anyway!
I figured now would be as good a time as any to ask my ortho “The Question”, but I wanted to do it in such a way that he wouldn’t reply, “I don’t know yet.

He immediately replied, “Yeah,
