Well, I didn't update the blog for my last appointment! I didn't even take any pics! But I just had my last adjustment and I am experiencing something new! ELASTICS! I'm not really sure what they are for, but I am sure that they hurt! The first few days were the worst, but now they aren't so bad. They are just hideous looking. ha. I have to wear them all day and night unless I'm eating or brushing my teeth. So here are a couple of pics. Hopefully the braces will be off soon, but who knows! enjoy!

Well, here are the pics from the Nov 1 adjustment. the bottoms are getting a lot straighter! but I had to get spacers to get bands on my very back molars, which was hell! I can't bite down all the way because of the band being in the way in the back right, but as long as my teeth are getting straighter, i don't mind! Dr. Patel said I had about another year to go, so I'm pretty disappointed about that. My next appt is Dec 15 so new update then!

okay, so i went and got spacers for my upper left molar on monday, feb 1. long story short, one of them fell out on thursday and we got a million inches of snow so i couldn't go in and get it fixed. I went in to my appt early today to get a spacer on for 30 mins and get my ligs changed. let's just say i'm in a lot of pain! so I got a chain on the top to close my gaps and i got a spring on the bottom to make room for the weird crooked tooth i have. as you can see in the new pics, my ol' trusty on the bottom has straightened out a lot! I'll update again march 30!

The is the spring to make room for crooked guy back there without the lig 

you can see the big gap in my front 2 teeth but notice out straight the weird ol' trusty is now!

my bite is getting better and better! :-D
