Extraction number 2 now complete. I'll post new photos after my ortho visit next week. Ouch.
My bottom incisors are ducking for cover! Thank goodness, seeing as how they were poking their little heads so far up. The ortho says that wonky one officially has to go. I have finally resigned myself to it and am ready to get the little sucker out of there so my smile will look right!
The pics are from Aug 8 (2 months), Jan 21 (6 months) , Feb 24 (7 months), March 28 (8 months)
Today I went in for the 6 month visit. About 2 months ago I had the upper left first premolar removed. Since then we have been in a bit of limbo. I guess at 3 months I got brackets on the lower arch except for the incisors. That was to expand the arch a little, I think. Today I got bands on the second molars all around as well as brackets on the lower incisors, except for the one that is way wonky. I also got a "mild" powerchain to tug on the canine in front of my premolar used to live.
Here's comparing baseline to today...sorry for the blurry photo...taken with cell phone but you can see the difference pretty clearly, I think. I'm about 1.5 months in. Very exciting! My upper arch is starting to look like...well, an arch!
