Mr S changed both my wires.
This was very time consuming (I was lying there for nearly an hour!).
My brackets were all clogged up so Mr S spent a lot of time cleaning my brackets so the wires could be changed.
The new wires are much thicker and he filed them down a little at the back as they would hurt my gum if left as they were.
Mr S told me these are the thickest wires I will have and that I have around 4 more changes left before the big op!
He said next time the wires put in will be thinner.
I asked when the op is likely to be, he said in the second half of this year. Eek... makes me nervous to think I'll have my op this year.
He said at my appointment with the hygienist, she will clean up all my plaque which has built up on my teeth.
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.
