Fourth Adjustment

On 12/30/2008 I had my fourth adjustment. He changed the top wire to a "25/square wire." The bottom wire remained the same. They only placed silver chain elastics on the bottom arch. I also received some class III (8 mm/ 5/16" / Super Heavy / South America) elastics to place from top arch tooth 14 to bottom arch tooth 22 and top arch tooth 3 to bottom arch tooth 27. The orthodontist stated this will start to move the top teeth over the bottom teeth. This was a pretty painful adjustment compared to the last few. I go back again on 2/17/2009 at 8:20 AM for my fifth adjustment. I will post pictures soon.
