Braces Are On

I went to the Orthodontist today and had my braces put on. The top brackets were placed with the archwire. The bottom brackets were placed on every tooth, except for tooth #24. That tooth will be extracted. An archwire was not placed on the bottom brackets. Tooth #24 will be extracted on 7/26/2008 at 9:00 AM. The archwire will be placed on the bottom arch a little over a week later (8/4/2008 at 8:50 AM). I have included some photos. At this time my teeth are okay, I do feel some pressure. The wire is a bio force wire and I will have to swish around ice water first and then warm water every day to activate the wire.
