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!
Hey, I'm 21 and i'm finally getting braces too. I came across your website because they've also extracted my teeth at the same spots than yours ( hurst like hell and yes you want them badly to close up soon lol)
ReplyDeleteNice work with your blog! keep it up :)
So.... where are the final pictures? to see how it looks now.
