Today was a very quick appointment.
Mr S asked how my false tooth is. I told him it's fine but also annoying as it moves up and down. He told me it'll stop wobbling once I have a thicker, squarer wire in place (I've found that by using my tongue I can move the tooth back and forth.)
Mr S replaced the powerchain on my top teeth.
My last powerchain gradually went bright yellow as my Mum cooks with lots of turmeric!
So I guess it'll be the same for this one...
At least it is doing its job; my gaps on my upper jaw are closing!
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.
