Hello! Here to share a few updates. Things in the braces world are going okay I guess. I don't know why but my self esteem is taking a huge blow from my braces lately. I'm just sick of looking at myself in the mirror and seeing pure metal. Oh well things will be better one day, just not today! I went in for my routine cleaning and got some bad news, I have not one BUT three cavities that need to be filled. Ugh I have spent so much on these teeth in the past half year that it's just a bit much. Plus I'm not happy about having to go through the cavity filling process. I just had one filled earlier this year.
I had a wire adjustment earlier this month as well on my top teeth. My ortho didn't want to do a wire change on the bottom teeth because he felt the wire that was on was doing a great enough job. So he left that one until next time. I did ask about the TADS because he had said when we first met that he would probably use those. He will put those on sometime in November. Those will be on mainly for the extraction holes, as you can see they still aren't closed :( He also mentioned something called a Gingivectomy to me, for my short teeth. I made the word a link to a youtube video that shows what it is. Basically I have short teeth and this should help with that. I also have a gummy smile it would be nice if it could help that as well. The other option was Lumineers on the four top teeth. So this was some exciting news to hear. I'm so excited for the results. I can see a major difference in my bottom teeth already. My top teeth I can't really say that I notice a change. But I probably won't until those TADS are places. I would think it would help out significantly with my overbite. Here are the latest pics taken today. Thanks for reading!

Sadly still absolutely zero change in the gaps :(
The only major change so far
Nice progress and I wonder what's happening now finally
ReplyDeleteI'm in 28 and I have braces for a few months and my ortho said I should take out four molaers but I fried that changed my face profile :(
