My Birthday!!

Oh!! I totally forgot to post that my birthday was on June 18th :) I'm 27! Officially in my late twenties... oh boy.

Deep Bite

Natural bite = open bite.

I figured I would show you guys a picture of what my bite looks like now if I was to bite down naturally. My back teeth don't touch and my front teeth hit my lower brackets. If I was to bite down to eat, then my lower teeth hide behind my upper teeth. See how rounded my lower teeth are right now? I cannot WAIT until they straighten up! Oh an yes, my power chain is stained yellow. What can I say? I love mustard ;)

Week 33

Nothing new (as far as I can tell). I'm still in Class II elastics, my teeth are still horizontally slanted, my bottom teeth are still behind my uppers when I bite down, and my front incisor is still longer than the other. Ugh. I feel like I am in limbo and that nothing is happening! I guess this is the part where my patience should kick in right? My next adjustment is in 4 weeks so I really hope that they do something different where I can see and feel progress.

Week 31

Week 31 - Lower teeth moving
back up into uppers :( WHY??!?!

So my lower teeth were in the process of moving down behind my upper teeth before my adjustment. Making really good progress too! And now with this new wire, my teeth moved back up! It looks more like Week 23 now!! They were doing so good before this adjustment.

It could be my upper teeth moved, bite blocks got lower... Or maybe something else moved inside my mouth that I am not seeing! All I know is that it has to get worse before it gets better :( I hope my lowers start moving back down again soon. This frustration is what I get for paying very close attention to my teeth movement! *bangs head against a wall*
