Today I got my wires changed by Miss M.
She put a new wire on my bottom teeth and replaced my missing bracket from my bottom pre-molar.
She also put a spring on the wire between my upper central incisor and where the new tooth will go. This is to create a gap for the tooth.
I was used to seeing the little gap I had all closed up and now it's going to be opened up again. Oh well...
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.
