Photos..

Hi guys,

Photos! Sorry about the long wait but here are the photos of the new piece of metal/clear plastic stuff which is fitting snug in my mouth:


This is the bottom brace which is small and cute. It consists of this clear plastic stuff and little strips of metal which support the teeth. The hooks on the side go over two of my molars and it is easy to take out and put in.






And this is the top. It has two blocks on either side which help force my bottom jaw forward. It stretches the jaw muscles so that when it is removed, my jaw will be in a new place.

 This is the top one, and it has a space for a key to turn it but that's only if they say I have to. Its not like my other one where I had to turn it every week. This one has a metal wire which goes over my front teeth and then two loops for my incisors and hooks for my molars.
 This is the other side, You can see that this one also has blocks on it as this is a Twin Block Appliance. You can see the key bit much clearer now.

 
 This is what it looks like when I close down. My teeth don't meet because the blocks are too big. You can see that my mouth weird and quite disgusting and gross but hey that's the process of teeth and braces.
And this is what it looks like when I bite. The blocks on the bottom brace are pushed forward and the blocks on the top brace are forced back. This is so that my bite is better before I get my braces and I begin the slow and steady process until straight and shiny teeth.
So that is it. if you have any questions feel free to comment and I will get back to you asap.
 
Bye Guys.
