God, so much has happened!

I finished my 29U yesterday, but had to have refinements, that little bugger of a front tooth doesn't want to move! I guess it not fitting very well over my canine really did make a difference.

My ortho gave me the impression he believed it to be my fault from being non-compliant. I decided to forgive this act of rudeness after he told me its fine to drink wine with them in.

Had my impressions dones yesterday and.......my wire bonded lower retainer broke. Oh yeah, forgot to say I actually have a lower bonded retainer. I must say, having a bonded retainer isn't at all bad. You play with it all the time with your tongue but at least they are being held in place all the time. Its a shame that you only have 6 retained as there is still movement going on in the back teeth.

So, after my impressions broke my bonded retainer, the ortho just 'glued' my teeth together. Unpleasant, feels strange, not sure why I paid £225 for a wire and then get my teeth glued.

My refinements should arrive in 3 weeks, after pressing the ortho on an amount he reckons 8-10!!! Then I have to wear the last retainer for three months before having an upper bonded retainer.

Right, i'm off to drink a bottle of wine.

Take care my plastic mouthed comrades.

I'm obviously rubbish at blogging


As the title states I'm totally rubbish at blogging but heres a quick update and some piccies with my latest problems.


In short:

I'm now on 20/29U 20/21L


I've had attatchments fall off, alligners tear, break and fall down the loo (nice)!!!!


Now one of the alligners is not covering one my teeth properly. Emailed ortho and he said go back to one that it does and he'll see my in a few days (4 to be precise)


This takes me back to alligner 17!!!Noooooooo never go back, it's like leaving home for ten years then having to go back and live with your parents in the same little bedroom!!!!!


I'm devastated.


However, I am prone to a little drama so have a look at my piccies and see if it really is all that bad or I should just carry on life as normal.



p.s not a good look for me.
