Week 70 with the Damon Braces

Summary: Pain lasted for three days this time around

Pain lasted 1 day longer than normal but the latter days of pain was actually pleasurable. It is actually already the 4th day and I still feel a very slight pain and I can't eat anything too hard yet.

What has happened so far? I can feel that my front teeth have come back a tiny bit because I can touch a little bit with my lower teeth. I also think that my lower teeth shifted a tiny bit back to the left undoing some of the work the rubber bands did in the last 6weeks. I also really hope my gap is closing and continues to close. 6 more months is all I can take with braces.

These pictures were taken the day after my ortho appointment. They were taking without the rubber bands.

Week 70 - Ortho Appointment

Summary: I am all rubberized

I just got back from my ortho appointment and decided to give a quick update. I just realized I did not write or post pictures since my last ortho appointment 6 weeks ago but it has been really busy for me lately :(. Sorry!!!

Here is my quick update of what was done to me today:
1) New wires on upper teeth again (went back to the strongest wire with the little hooks)
2) New side rubber bands (the ones I don't replace daily) on the bottom right and left side
3) No more spring on my upper left side (they are trying to close that big hole)
4) New side rubber bands (the ones I don't replace daily) on the top right and left side
5) New daily bands on left and right side.
6) New power chain on front teeth to close small gaps

These are all pretty vague but I will update later this week with pictures. I sense a really painful day today and tomorrow with all of these changes.
