SOS Appointment/Twelfth Adjustment

I went in for an SOS Appointment today for a broken lower arch wire. They also decided to complete my Twelfth adjustment during the SOS visit. The appointment on 11/24/2009 is cancelled. During this appointment I received a new lower wire with a weird bend on the left side near the last molar. They broke the clip off the molar tube and tied the wire in with a metal tie. I received a new cleat on the second bicuspid on the left side upper arch. I have a new configuration going on. On the left side... From the inside of the top 2nd molar to the inside of the 2nd bicuspid to the front of the lower 2nd molar to the front of the lower 2nd bicuspid. It makes like a box shape. On the other side I have an elastic running from the inside of my top 2nd molar to the outside of the bottom 2nd molar. They said my top arch is too narrow (crossbite) and they are using this along with a wire to widen the top arch. My next adjutment is 12/22/2009 at 9:30 am. They plan to reposition a lower bracket and begin closing space between two lower incisors.
