SOS Visit

I went in today at 8:20 AM to have the bottom wire clipped. It was poking the inside of my cheeks. They also cut the top wire too. 

SOS Visit

I went in today at 8:20 AM to make sure all the doors/brackets were closed. They stated that the three that are kind of open are okay due to the chain being on. They clipped the back of the top wire as it was poking me. I will go back on 12/01/2008 at 8:20 for my third adjustment.

Second Adjustment

Today I had my second adjustment. There was a bit of a "slip up." They started the appointment by reshaping my existing wires. Then, I informed my Orthodontist that these were the original wires and the he was shocked. He told his assistance to change both wires and chain the top and bottom. I have top and bottom wires that are 18x22 and 18x18. I had 16's before. I went with the silver/gray chains. The braces seem more visible now with the silver chains. I am going in on Wednesday at 8:20 AM because they forgot to close three of the doors all the way on the brackets. My third adjustment will be on 12/01/2008 at 8:20 AM. I am not sure what I am in for that day.

Dental Cleaning

Today I went in for my first cleaning with braces. It went well and my teeth feel very clean. Nothing different happened from a normal cleaning and I go back in 6 months on 04/11/2009 at 8:50 AM.
