Week 42

Lower teeth moved down quite a bit from last week!!
My lower wire is really doing some work! I have never seen a wire do SO much in SO little time. My lower teeth are really moving down quickly, but my long central incisor aka "fang" is keeping me from biting down the way I should. My next adjustment is in 3 weeks and then they will be repositioning my brackets to fix my fang! I heard that it is very uncomfortable when they reposition your brackets so I may take some pain meds before I go.

Chewing food is getting more difficult now that my bite blocks are touching my upper teeth again. I tried to eat soft tacos yesterday and it was like chewing gum! But this won't stop me from eating my favorite foods.

Seriously though, look at my teeth!!! If you compare this to Week 36, or even Week 40, you can see a big difference!!  How exciting :)
