Hey guys,
I haven't spoke in a very long time. The last blog post I did was a dentist appointment I had which was in February. It's now April... I am really sorry for the recent disappearance, school has been busy and I've been working all weekend of March so I've not had any free time. I had 2 orthodontist appointments recently in March were I got given a metal ring which has an appliance on the side. It allows me to hook elastics from the inside of my top jaw to the outside of my bottom jaw, in the hope to move my top jaw one way and the bottom jaw the other way. I'll get some images up soon, but seeing as I'm writing this at half 9 in the evening, the lighting will not allow me to show it with justice.
The elastics I have been given are Gorilla elastics for the start, however when I get used to them, I am supposed to move onto the Butterly Fish elastics. I will also take pictures of these when I have better lighting so you are able to see the different elastics. The Gorilla elastics are more flexible and stretchy and can stretch a lot further than compared to the Butterfly Fish elastics which are thicker and not as stretchy and flexible which makes them harder to hook to the appliances. I am trying to get on with the Butterfly Fish but they are not easy to work with.
My next orthodontist appointment is in May I believe, so hopefully that'll be good news. I will try and get a blog with photos up in the next week but I have a lot of different coursework pieces to get in before the end of May as well as an exam in June to revise for. Lots of pressure in a small amount of time.
Bye guys
