Week 5: Another trip to the ortho

This week marks week 5 for me.  Other than another trip to the ortho for a lost rubber band the week was pretty uneventful.  Since having my teeth extracted, the back side of my gums behind my top front teeth felt different.  I chalked it up to the trauma from the extractions and the loss of teeth.  Well, I am pretty sure part of the difference was from the movement of my front teeth.  I's amazing....for the first time since I was 8 my front teeth are side by side!  I now have a small gap between them at the gum, but that doesn't bother me!!

I also had a cleaning this week.  It took quite a bit longer than a cleaning without braces.  The hygenist told me that everything looked great and that I'm doing an excellent job keeping up with it.

I'm very excited to finally see some movement!
