Braces Update, March 11, 2010
Dr. L assured me the dental x-rays from last visit showed no cavities and everything seemed fine. Dr. B tightened the braces as usual but added a dusty blue spacer in between two of my right lowers since a tooth was a bit down-turned and needed correcting (center picture). Pink and grey elastic ligatures. Nothing new to report. I wonder when I will finally be ready for retainers? The lowers keep needing an adjustment here and there (annoying). The spacer has caused a little pain since last night and most of today (Dr. B warned me this would be the case). Nothing that warm rinses and soft foods can’t fix. It’s bearable for now. I’m sure by tomorrow, it will be even better.
