It is very awkward - every 2 weeks for the past couple of months, I have been having a slight pain on my upper left incisor. It feels good because it still needs to move outward and it only lasts for a day at the most.
My overall progress seems to be OKAY. My entire upper left teeth need to move out such that it is on the outside of my lower teeth. At the moment, I still have some sort of under bite - see the pictures below. Also, even though my lower archwires weren't changed, I can definitely tell my lower teeth have moved as a see a new gap between my incisor and the tooth before it.
The other day I also did a boo-boo. I dislocated the end of my archwire - the little bit connected to the molar. I was basically eating almonds and I chewed away. I then was using my tongue to clean out the bits and pieces and noticed the wire at the back was bent. I went to the restroom to check it out and and the almond was string enough to bend the strong archwire. Now, that explains why we aren't supposed to eat hard foods. LOL. It took a little bit of effort, but I was able to get it back in place.
In a couple of days I will be having my next appointment. Hurray!
