But I won't stop posting here so here's the latest.
I got these babies on August 4th...
Yep! My upper braces are on. I'm happy about that. They've started shifting already...sounds crazy but see for yourselves...
The two teeth next to the front teeth have already begun to shift and straighten out. That makes me happy!
Dr Evans also talked to me about slenderizing my teeth. I had to look that up because I had NO idea what that meant! It's the process of filing the sides of your teeth down the improve appearance and the reduce the look of the "black triangles" at the gum line.
She explained that those are usually from gum recession and the shape of the teeth. That tissue won't ever come back so there isn't much that can be done.
Here's an example
Ummmmmmmm....
This doesn't look enjoyable at ALL! I'm going to be a good patient and comply with everything she says needs to be done but I'm SURE I won't like this!
I'm very happy I chose Dr Evans. She's an AWESOME orthodontist. She's not cutting any corners and it seems like she's very open minded and creative. When I go for a visit and things aren't the way she wants, instantly she has another way to go about it to get the results she wants. For that I'm sticking to everything she's been telling me I need to do!
(I'm hoping these links are working because I have no idea what "codes" to use to make this show up lol)
Anyway, my next visit is on August 27th and that's when I get the rest of my bottom brackets put on. I'm super excited about that. I'm going to write an update and make another video after that appointment.
Until then...
