Yesterday was my yet another visit to the orthodontist. By now some may think I must be used to the by monthly visits, but let me tell you, every time I go in there I experience fear and panic. I never know what they will be doing during those visits so I guess what I don’t know scares me. During yesterday’s visit, I had the lower wire removed and my chain on top removed as well. I was happy about the chain being removed because last week I had some Indian food for lunch, which made my chain discolored into a pale green colour. It looked weird. Apart from that, they have placed additional wires on all sides of my teeth to bring the teeth together and to close the gaps. This procedure was excruciating and painful. Even though the lady was trying to be gentle, there is no way she could have prevented what needed to be done. She had to pull my last 5 teeth together from every side so they would close up any gaps. Yesterday I had a small gap on my lower 4th tooth from my right bottom side, today the gap is completely gone, and another gap appeared on my front bottom tooth. Needles to say I am in a lot of pain today but the only thought that gets me going is that my braces will come off in around 2 months. I am very excited about that. This is it for now for braces updates.
