big change in ortho plan almost 4 months post op

[Guest guest]

I just had a visit with OD today and i went from wearing 9 bands in

an odd and difficult to get on configuration, so only 5 and much

easier to get on.

since i have been having fairly significant symmetry issues, my OD

and i made a new plan today.

I am getting my metal bands off the last three teeth both upper and

lower on left side only of my mouth. He will then slide a tool he

uses between all those teeth to polish or abrase them and make ever

so small spaces between teeth. He will then chain my teeth in the

ever so pleasant rubber chains to start pulling my whole set of

teeth to the left.

when i smile now, the middle of my upper lip is over my left front

tooth. he will shift all teeth so that they look more centered.

This will mean that i will be in braces almost a year longer, but at

this point, with all i have been through (third time in braces in my

life, upper/lower/genio) i could care less about the time, i just

want it to look right. i have been pretty excited about getting

them off, but find myself pretty excited about this new plan. I

think it will make my smile look better. has anyone had this done?
