Week 29 / 3rd Appointment Update

Week 29 - Front bite

So I just came back from my 3rd appointment. They replaced my clear power chain for a new one. Thank GOD because that last one was a yucky yellow color (damn you mustard!!). Looks like I'm still stuck with the Class II configuration with my rubber bands and they gave me a couple more bags. Also, they finally added brackets to my last 4 molars. When I bit down I could feel my upper molar was hitting my bottom bracket but I just shrugged it off and left (BIG MISTAKE). I went back to work and was eating my honey greek yogurt w/ granola (totally the bomb.com by the way...) I heard something break in my mouth! Yup, you guessed it, one of my new brackets freakin' BROKE OFF. My upper molar bit down on my bottom bracket so hard it popped that sucker right off!! So I had to make an appointment again today. Luckily they were able to take me in an hour after I called.

I finally have brackets on my back teeth!

They looked at my bite and was debating whether to give me a molar band, just re-bond the bracket, or re-bond the bracket and add more molar build up to open my bite (NOOOOOO)! Luckily my ortho was kind enough to just re-bond the bracket lower so my upper teeth don't touch it. Whew! I'm going to San Diego next week for my anniversary trip and I would have hated to have more molar build up added. I want to be able to eat normally on my trip!

My next appointment is in 8 weeks. I hope my bite is closer to being fixed by then!
