Ceramic Braces Progress

No photos today.

My dentist said my bottom teeth are fast if it is only to shift left and right with the power chain. And it was actually too fast, it caused the crooked alignment that you can see on my previous posts. So last week he decided to take it slow. He removed the power chain from half of the bottom row.

As a result, the gap in my front bottom teeth came back a little bit. And the crooked alignment on my left side shifted a little bit to their original positions (it happens within 1 week). So the power chain left in the bottom row are on the right side to push the alignment of that particular side to the back.

Anyways, I am going out of town for the rest of the week. When I came back it will be the week of my next schedule to visit the dentist regarding the top row.

Will post more progress soon.

2nd week on Month 7; Ceramic Braces Progress...

I'm back in uploading pictures. The tooth I circled in my previous posts moved back a little bit. But the alignment is still crooked. I'm visiting the dentist again today. Hopefully he'll be able to give me some good news, since the teeth that you can see on your left bottom row is still looking like an overbite compared to the right bottom row. Hopefully the current improvement is just as he wanted it to be. If the bottom row alignment is not tidy, my dentist told me he won't be able to change the top row wires yet.

Ceramic Braces Progress, Month 7

As promised, here is one picture to update you about my visit to the dentist last night.


What he did was:

1. He replaced the ligatures on 3 upper teeth with power chain to fasten the shifting before he can change the wire for the upper row.

2. Notice the ligatures at the bottom row? Yeah... he noticed that one tooth that I circled on the last update and so... he changed the bottom row ligatures with the power chain and the mass pulling for my bottom row teeth has finally begun.

Teeth is moving slowly but sure! So I'll get back to you in a couple of weeks for hopefully more progress.

Final statement: Auuuccchhhhh!!!!!
