Lowers Braced

Wow! What an event!!! So, I went to get my second set of molar bands today and my lower arch braced. It was quite the process...as I figured it would be. They got all the brackets put on and when they went to put the wire on a bracket popped off. Ugh. Oh well, it will be fixed in about 3 weeks. Anyway, can you say pain? Oh man....I have had it easy up until now!!! I got a thicker wire on my top arch. My lower arch is pretty much a mess so I knew it was going to be painful. My lower teeth are VERY sore. I'm praying that my #5 tooth (the one that jets out a lot) can be saved. My ortho is worried that as he tries to move it....it may create more gum recession. So, I have to go back every 3 weeks so he can monitor things. Oh well, at least I get to change colors every 3 weeks!! :-) That is exciting! :-) I hope to post a pic in a bit.
