3rd Stop

Just went for my 3rd appointment last Saturday and returned in disappointment. The two irritating separators are still attached to my teeth. Ortho said that my teeth didn't move enough yet. The top row isn't forwarding enough and the bottom row isn't backwarding enough. Currently my top row is touching the brackets of my bottom row. It has to move more to the front to be able to get over the bottom brackets. That will be when the separators can be removed..

I just noticed that ortho used power chain for my bottom row for the first time.

Baby blue this time. Started liking this color more and more :D

1.5 months

1.5 months on braces. 8 days to next appointment. Still not able to close my mouth due to the separators.

My top row has started to move forward. Somehow the gap in between the top and bottom row is slowly decreasing too.

I am really glad that for the first time in my life my upper lip is more protruding than the lower lip in my side profile :)

However, due to the 2 irritating separators, I am still not able to close my mouth fully. Which means I still have problem chewing even though the teeth no longer causing me pain. Worse, ulcers have been developing non-stop at 3 of the 4 canines. They are unbearable. 

20 days to my next appointment..
