Today I had my bottom wire changed.
Miss M also put my two missing brackets back on and attached them to the wire.
My bottom central incisor which was out of line for so long has finally come forward enough to be attached to the wire for the first time.
She also colour matched my teeth for my false tooth as my top gap is now wide enough. I will get a temporary false tooth for now as I won't get an implant until right after my long treatment (braces, surgery with braces, retainers then implant).
She said it should be ready and put on in my next appointment.
Miss M also informed me I won't be seeing her anymore as she's leaving and I'll be back with Mr S.
I asked about my operation and she said it'll probably be the end of this year and when I asked how long it would take the teeth to be straight she said probably about 9 months.
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.
