Went to the orthodontist yesterday hoping that they'd tell me it was time to make my final appointment. I was sorely disappointed. To boot, my teeth are now sore, too.
I've had a rubber band on my right upper incisor for the last 6 weeks to "pull it out" to fix my bite. Apparently, it didn't move enough for the orthodontist's happiness.
As they did a number of months ago with my bottom front 4 teeth, they put a rubber band across my 4 front top teeth. This pulls my front teeth closer together thus creating space between my front 4 teeth and my 2 incisors. This will allow the rubber band on my right incisor to be more effective and actually pull that tooth out since there will be room now for it to move.
This whole scenario makes my front 4 teeth hurt like hell. I'm on motrin again in an attempt to get my mind to stop thinking about how much my mouth hurts. I can't bite into anything either. I'm losing my patience for this, though admittingly, the results are amazing from what I can see...
I have another appointment March 1, and I'm supposed to be re-evaluated at that time, whatever that means. Maybe I'll get some good news...
