Just had another adjustment yesterday. It took an hour. They changed both upper and lower wires to something a little bit thicker. It was a painful adjustment. They were having trouble clipping the wire to my brackets on my upper braces...when i thought it was almost over, the assistant broke one of my bracket on the back, right side. so they had to glue it back again and that took another 10mins. I'm still sore but my teeth looks so much better. I can't wait!!!

I hope it'll be off by September. I'll take pictures again soon.

7th month!!!

My most recent adjustment in April went smoothly. They removed my bite blockers and they tightened both upper and lower braces. The assistant had to do the lower braces twice because my upper and lower teeth weren't meeting correctly and put in another type of wire to help it meet. The whole adjustment procedure took 40mins. On my way home from the Ortho, I was in my car checking out my teeth when I noticed that they missed to put an elastic on one of my lower brackets. I didn't have time to go back coz they were closing when I left. I also couldn't get another day off work til the week after. I've realized that the little elastics play a big role in braces. the tooth with missing elastic got pushed back by the other teeth next to it. the wire wasn't inside the bracket. so a week after, i went back and they fixed it within 5 seconds. wow!

anyway, my teeth looks great! a few tweaking here and there and i should be good to go. just small details now and my lower teeth i still have 2 little gaps (extractions sites). ibraces looks good.
