Yesterday I had my first adjustments. It hurts now and I eat nothing but noodles. My ortho also fixed some elastic sort of band or chain around teeth surrounding two of my for gaps(to facilitate closing I guess).. I heard him mumbling about some wrong size 20... and " 21 is better".. Don't know what he meant...![]()

I had a dry socket and it drove me crazy for 4 days because i didn't visit my dentist. I did't know it was a dry socket and thought the pain is normal for extractions. My dentist explained it happened because the clot had removed because I drank through straws....its ok now and my dentist had a lot of trouble taking off the filling he put in the gap to let it heal...
I was having dinner and the metal part on which the wire was bent on that had my molars fixed in place so they won't move broke off!
The wire also loosened and the dentist said it won't matter much because I haven't had any tightening-ups yet and said he would tell about it to my ortho. My teeth are all straight now and it didn't take more than 3weeks for that. But the extraction gaps are still BIG !!!![]()
