Week 52 with the Damon Braces

Summary: 5 more weeks until my next appointment

I took these pictures last week so I am calling this entry 'Week 52.' Wow, it has almost been a year. I think tomorrow will be my 1 year anniversary with the Damon Braces.

From the pictures, I think there is a slight improvement on my upper left side. It is probably minimal, but I think the improvement is there!

Here are my pictures for week 52. This time around I went for a scary shot.

Week 51 with the Damon Braces

Summary: Feeling great and slowly seeing my teeth coming together

The next couple of days following the change of archwires were abnormal. Why? Basically I wasn't in much pain. First of all, even though my lower teeth got a new set of wires, I did not feel any pain. Does that mean my lower teeth are done moving? Are they in the position they should be? Are they too old and stiff that the wires can't move them anymore? Truth is, I don't really care as I think they are perfect the way they are now (except for a small gap that needs to be fixed with some power chain or bands).

My upper teeth experienced something different. Only my 3rd molar on my left side was painful. The remainder of my upper teeth did not feet a change! After 2 days it felt like it was back to normal. Hopefully this is a good sign!

This morning I woke up and had a funny sensation in my mouth. I felt that my bite was actually perfect but when I looked in the mirror I noticed it still needs some fixing :(.  Maybe the power of the mind will make them move faster. LOL.

That's it for now.
