Over the holidays I went back home and indulged in eating as usual. I didn’t have too many sweets or bit on many hard objects but regardless, one of my brackets came off. I was brushing my teeth at night and when I was rinsing with water, I felt this rocklike object stuck between my front braces. I spat it out and stored it. I thought I would go through the rest of the week miserably as this was the last bracket on my upper left side and was afraid of the wire poking my check. Luckily, I did not have a problem!!!!
Last week I visited my orthodontist and they glued the same bracket that came off back onto my 2nd upper-left molar. They didn’t go through the same cleaning process; instead he used a drill to drill the side of the tooth and glued it. I am not sure why it was done different this time around.
Regarding change and pain – I have not seen much change nor felt much pain. It is a little annoying now that my lower teeth have moved forward and I feel like my lower lip is too far out and it feels like I am pouting.
Here are this week’s pictures:
Braces are one of the most popular treatment for teeth alignment. My brackets also broke last month. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my dentist in Hixson to glue the bracket back in place. My siblings and I had our assessments and regular cleaning with the dentists in Hixson.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I can see that there had been improvements in my bite. I've worn it for some years now and I'm definitely happy with the results.
