Hello guys,
Wow we are in June where did that go? I am so sorry for not updating this blog just nothing major has been happening really with my teeth. I had an appointment today and it's all such good news but feel like I need to start at my last appointment which was in April. In that appointment I got the strongest wires on both the top and the bottom so thats exciting and my wires have hooks on them by my 4 canines. These are for elastic bands. So in April I got Ferret bands. These are to go from my top left canine to my bottom right canine and move my bottom jaw left more. I only wear them at night.
Today, they examined my teeth and didn't change the wires as there was no point and they are in good enough condition to leave for another 6 weeks. The only thing they have done is give me more elastic bands as the teeth on my left side meet but my right side doesn't so I now have Eagle bands which I wear on the top and bottom hooks on my right canines and then it connects to my back bottom molar. I hope this all makes sense but I will try to get some photos uploaded for you to see.
So my next appointment is in August and if the elastics have done their job then there will be no more elastics. I will get my wires replaced with a fresh pair of strong wires and they want to sort out my "snuggle" teeth as they are flaring outwards instead of straight down. My orthodontist is just doing aesthetics so if there is anything I'm not happy with I need to let her know so it can be sorted. If I'm honest I'm happy as they are but I understand that my bite needs to be corrected and my snaggle teeth need to not flare out. I really can see the finishing line so fingers crossed (and toes) this year I will get my braces off.
See you soon!
