That's right folks, my ortho FINALLY told me I can stop wearing rubber bands!! Well technically his words were "You can stop wearing rubber bands for now," but I'll take it! He wants to try and close up my gaps and overbite. He even tweaked my wire to straighten my upper teeth. He wants me to come in more often, about every 6 weeks, to get my power chain replaced so my gaps can close. I have a crap ton of gaps in my upper teeth. I mean literally, half of my upper teeth have gaps in between them! You can't really see them, but trust me when I say they are there. Man, I am just so excited I will be rubber band FREE for at least the next 6 weeks!! Okay, enough gabbing, time for some pics.

| Ahhhhh new clear power chains!! |

My bite is still open on the right side.
That is where my molar build up is too. |
I also made an appointment in 6 weeks to get regular dental cleaning. I haven't gotten my teeth cleaned in quite a while. You don't even want to know how long. I know...
shame on me! I need to make it a habit of getting it done every 6 months. That means, trip to ortho to take out wires, trip to dentist for regular exam and dental cleaning, then BACK to ortho to put wires back in and change powerchain. Sheesh! I just hope they don't find cavities... :(
