I had another appointment with Dr Starling yesterday. We left the top wire as is (still the smallest wire available) but I had a chain added on some back teeth on my top left. My bottom teeth were where the real fun happened. I got a thicker wire placed, and it was also able to go through all my brackets, where before my teeth were too crooked to get it threaded through. I could INSTANTLY feel it working! I wish I would've taken a picture yesterday morning and last night because the change was incredible! I'm uploading a collage of my bottom teeth for reference. My top teeth are doing what they are supposed to but nothing so drastic. I will upload a picture of then soon.

10 weeks in

hannahkail
I decided to do an update since someone finally noticed a difference in my teeth at Thanksgiving dinner. I have had my braces for 10 weeks now and have virtually no issues! Sometimes I may be a little tender but usually I can eat like normal, just a lot slower =) see the difference for yourself!

I have an appointment on 12/1 and will update again.

Bottom arches

hannahkail
Ouch! This is why they are wise to make you wait between arches. I believe my bottom arches are going to be quite a bit more uncomfortable than my top ones. This probably varies by person but my bottom teeth need more work than my top, so I'm sure the pressure is going to be more pronounced.
The procedure was the same and painless. First they cleaned my teeth, then placed glue and put the incognito tray in. She cured it with the UV light then fed my wire through the brackets. There was one spot that was a bit tough, because of crowding... But they got it =) I'm going to add some pictures, some from the office and some I've taken myself. Remember I have a tiny mouth but I did what I could. =)

I don't go back to see Dr. Starling for another 6 weeks!
