So I am 16 months into my journey and have a little progress. I am anxious to get my braces off, but then again I know my treatment has to be slow because of my history with gum disease. When you have had an issue with gum disease in the past the treatment is slow and gradual, because they don't want to cause further damage. There are nerves and roots that have to be moved and it takes "TIME". Rule of thumb, DO NOT GET BRACES IF YOUR NOT PATIENT!! At first I was anxious to get them off, especially in 18 months, but had no idea that I would run into my progress slowing down.
My brackets have turned side ways on my molars they are on now, and I can feel the wire poking me in my jaws. I don't know if he will remove my clear braces, but I do want them removed and have the traditional braces put on. To me my ceramic top braces slow the progress down alot, but I will talk to my dentist about it and see what he says. Oh and I have too wear my rubber bands, I have changed the sizes from fast too medium.
My next appointment is July 28, 2015. I will have brackets put onto my last molars. I will have to have my last wisdom tooth removed because it will be just lingering in the back alone. I also discussed it with my dentist and he said it would be best too have it removed, so not looking forward to it.
Thanks for reading my blog and see you on my next update!! Have you decided to get braces? It's never too late....
