Today I had my Nineteenth Adjustment. They took the power chain off the top arch and replaced it with braided wire across the top. I had two brackets repositioned on the lower left. The first bicuspid and the lower canine. I received a metal bracket on the lower canine instead of a ceramic bracket. They placed several bends in the lower wire. They are trying to rotate my lower left canine. I received a pin on the back of my lower canine that is tied to my arch wire with some sort of elastic thread. The orthodontist also noted I can talk to my dentist about bonding to help decrease the black triangle. He also wants me to come back a week before debondment. My next appointment is 07/12/2010 at 8:40 AM. I will go back as stated earlier on this blog on 07/19/2010 at 9:50 AM for removal. In addition I will return the following day on 07/20/2010 at 2:30 PM to receive my Essix retainer. In addition he noted I will receive a lower bonded retainer instead of a lower Essix. I will be glad to end this process and look forward feel the front of my teeth again. I will publish pictures later.
One more note...
I am still wearing the Thailand elastics on my right side in a triangle. See last blog entry to see configuration.
