Elastics

Yesterday I received the Korea 6 MM class III elastics in the mail. I am switching back to these and will keep the South America 8 MM class III elastics as a back-up.

Seventh Adjustment

Today I had my seventh adjustment. I saw a different orthodontist at the practice. I am received a new clear chain elastic (power chain) on the bottom and a power thread to assist in closing the gap. I do not have a wire change. My top teeth are still braided with the same metal wire as last adjustment. Next visit I will receive a new wire on the top. This wire will expand the top arch. They ran out of Korea elastics so they gave me South America elastics to wear. I will post pictures for the this adjustment and my last adjustment soon. My next adjustment is 06/01/2009 at 9:00 AM.

Dental Cleaning/Exam

On 04/11/2009 I had a dental cleaning and exam. Everything went well. No cavities. My teeth feel much cleaner. My next cleaning is 10/24/2009 at 1:10 PM.
