Week 14

I went to my first follow-up appointment last week and they gave me thicker, stronger wires! They also said that I will be getting elastics at my next appointment in 7 weeks. I am hoping since they gave me stronger wires my teeth will move faster. I hope so! You can see the wire difference below.

I am on week 14 and there are two things that are absolutely bugging the crap out of me! First, my upper left central incisor is longer than the right. Obviously longer. Annoyingly longer! They said that they will fix that, but it just bugs me when I see it everyday in the mirror :( Apparently it's been like that for years but I'm just now noticing it.

<-- Week 8                                                   Week 14 -->


2nd, the front of my lower teeth are still "high" and need to be brought down! My bottom teeth are completely covered by my top. I guess the whole point of the thicker wire was to fix this exact problem, but I'm just impatient. My teeth have been like this for a LONG time and I can't wait until it is fixed!

    Dawn Marie,

    Sorry that the height of your two front teeth is such an issue. It can be easily solved at your next appointment. Look at the placement of the brackets on your two front teeth. The brackets are placed at different heights which makes one tooth longer. This can be easily changed by your orthodontist if you bring it to his/her attention. Best of luck.

    I know this is really late, but thanks William! They said that they would fix that so I'm not too worried :)
