Did you say "loops?"

April 3, 2006- Fourteen Months- My appointment today was exciting because I got new wires. My top wire is now square with two big loops in it... they look more like twists if you ask me. My bottoms were not quite ready for a square wire, but they put in a heavier wire in the meantime. I have to wear 5/16" Heavy elastics on the right side only for now. (Almost talked him out of wearing them until my next appointment too...lol) He also put on powerchains on the bottom 4 to 4. I go back in 6 weeks, and I am getting yet another new wire on the bottoms. I wish my midline would shift already!!!!!!!

A bit of good news... while he was making the loops in my wire I asked him if my time in braces was going to be closer to 2 years or 2.5 years. He thinks it will be closer to 2. Yipee! :)
Next Appointment- May 15, 2006.
