Harmony Lingual Top and Clear Ceramic Bottom - Orange, CA

So, it has been a while again sorry about that my last ortho visit my ortho bent my top wire so he could move one more tooth a certain direction, and he also tied my bottom teeth together with these string like things. My ortho mentioned he's really just waiting for those two things to get into proper position, and then I can have my braces come off. The little gap he's waiting on to close still is there, so I don't think I will be able to have them off by my next appointment June 10. Hopefully, though, by my following appointment after that (sometime in July) I will be able to take them off.

I cannot believe how much sooner than expected my braces are coming off by. Originally I was quoted 21-24 months, which I thought was fair enough given the over crowdedness and crookedness of my teeth, but I am so happy to know it will not have to be that long! I cannot wait to not have to worry about food stuck in my teeth, and having to brush all the damn time. Well I don't have much else to say, so I will write a quick update after my visit on Friday, June 10, and let you guys know the verdict.

So I'm getting to another review finally! Last time I went in was about 2 weeks ago I wanna say, and some I did not know what to expect for the first time lol. So, the first thing we did was take a look at how my bite is doing. Dr. Miller had me bite down on some blue sheets of paper on each side of my mouth, and he said my bite is perfect. Previously, he had mentioned I might have to wear elastics again after he told me to stop wearing them, but now he thinks I won't have to at all. He changed my top wire, I believe he said the one I am wearing now is the one before my final top wire which is exciting news! I am already on the final wire for my bottom teeth, so I only get a new chain elastic put on each time I go in. However, I still have a baby gap down there between my main front two teeth. It's been there for a while now, but hopefully, that will close sooner rather than later. The last thing he did on this visit was he filed my teeth a little bit to better shape them. I was so happy he did a little bit, because I had a small chip on one tooth, and he just about fixed it. He said he would do more once they are off, but for now he just wanted to some light filing on my teeth.

That was about it for that appointment, I go in again May 6 in the morning, and I don't know what we will be doing, or working on then. He mentioned I am still very well ahead of schedule with the way things are moving so quickly. I'm hoping I can have these bad boys off by the start of summer, or end? If it doesn't happen though that's okay. I'd rather make sure my teeth are ready to be de-braced than speed the process up.
