Summary: Lost Bracket
About 2 days ago I noticed that I had a slight pinching on the back of my right side. I didn't really pay much attention to it actually as I knew it was probably just some wire poking me. Later in the day I decided to take a look and found out I was missing the last bracket on my upper molar! I tried hard to remember when it started hurting but I couldn't. I also don't remember biting anything hard so I am pretty sure I just swallowed it :(. Hopefully, it is out of my system by now.
I called the ortho yesterday and they asked me to come in so I'll be going later today. Hopefully he decides to do more than just replacing the bracket.

Week 101 with the Damon Braces
Summary: Still not done with the Braces
I just got back from my ortho appointment and I was disappointed as I was technically supposed to be done by now. I think it has been almost a year since I got my braces.
A few things happened today. The orthodontist asked me to stand up and smile. I think he was looking at how my teeth actually looked standing up and not lying down. Later he got my wires out to make adjustments:
- Adjustment 1: Twisted inner lower wire to correct the molar as it was too far out.
- Adjustment 2: Made a little stop on the front wire to correct one of the front tooth as it seemed to be a little longer (didn't really notice but you can totally tell from previous pictures).
That was all that was done today. Also, I was told I only need to wear my rubber bands at night.
When I asked him how much longer? He said we wanted to be done by now but that I should hang on and we are looking to be done by the end of the year - hopefully before that. However, I am going to keep my expectations low and think it will be done in December. Hopefully it will be done by November.
