I had my orthodontic appointment this morning. My teeth are making progress. The gaps in my lower teeth are gone, so they removed the power chain. I now have just the regular little ligatures installed on the bottom.
The teeth on my upper-left are seeming to stay out over the bottom teeth, so I don’t have to where the rubber bands anymore…at least for now. They removed the button that was attached to the inside of the one upper tooth.
He wants to get the upper teeth to move out and forward now. So he replaced the wire that was on my upper teeth. He took a longer wire and made sharp little bends in it that will be positioned just in front of the brackets on my back molars. This will extend the front of the wire out forward. I now have ligatures on the top teeth only on the front four teeth. So the wire is unattached on the sides, and wire is slightly pressing the upper front teeth forward. It feels weird while eat and brushing to have the wire loose on the sides.
My next appointment is in the first week of Janurary.
