3 Months Update




Well the plan was to update this blog monthly with progress photos and any news from my ortho appointments. However I forgot to post a 2 month update as I was on placement last month and went to my appointment after a 12hr nightshift (never again!). Also my last tightening was on October 12th and I don't have another appointment until December 13th. The delay is due to my clinic being changed as my usual consultant  has left the job so I feel like I'm being passed from pillar to post at the moment. I'm not very happy about it as my wires badly need tightened and the delay will slow up my treatment time, but there nothing much I can do unless one of my wires break.
Anyhoo, good news is that I am beginning to see quite a change between my pictures. I can obviously feel small changes in my teeth and in particular my bite. You can see how well my left side (right side on photos) is being 'pulled out'. I hadn't really noticed how well some of my teeth had rotated. I'm not sure if its noticeable but my overbite it much more pronounced at the moment as my back teeth line up and my bite. Also my lower front teeth have been moved from an almost sloping forward position to more upright which you can't really see from the photo, however if you see the teeth from a birds eye view they look a bit lopsided. Overall I'm really happy with the progress, and just approaching it all with the attitude that it can get worse before it gets better.
