got told braces are comin off next app! gap is closed enough finally, looks like mr s's re-angulation worked! :o)
hopefully they can schedule me in so everythings done b4 wedding
tight schedule tho, hmm..
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.

(Mr Ziff) -
molds checked to see if they fit my mouth as a shape of my teeth
to have a mold of my teeth as they are before braces removed and implant put in
gave me molds and letter to take to mr s
i tried to get earlier app with mr s but he's fully booked up, i think gap has shut now and wanted to progress quicker as wedding to consider!

Gap moved to front
gap has moved to front of mouth
made gap next to false tooth a bit too big as tooth to cover false tooth and gap would look very wide next to other incisor
told mr s bout implantologists we saw and what they said
mr s says people think my bite is off centre as i dont bite with my back teeth, i need to bite properly! i apparently still force my bottom jaw forward! a habit i guess..

(Mr Ralston)
mr ralston (dental and cosmetic clinic) in south wigston - 2nd cousin recommendation
he said lil flap of gum over tooth needs removin (called a labial frenectomy) as it may affect implant space
he filled gap with a filler and took photos before and after to show what a big tooth in the gap would look like
he took xrays to check bone etc is okay for implant
asked us to get mr s to move false tooth to the side so i can see gap in middle
this one had to be paid for in advance!
fancy equipment in practise and on site parking
