33 weeks update
Updates: June 17, 2007
I haven't written in a while, 13 weeks. Since my last post, I had two appointments.
The one in April was for fine tuning, changing the colours on the lower braces. This is when I also discussed with Dr Selnes the chances of having this entire project finished by February 2008. Chances are I can but nothing can be determined at this point, it all depends on the progress of my mouth and teeth movement. If not done by then, he will refer me to an orthodontist he trusts in Lebanon to complete the treatment. We'll see. I had to keep the elastics which I learned to eat without removing. And by the way, I am eating like a ghoul, no worries about me ;) It's actually bad because bread and chocolate are easier to eat than vegetables and fruits lol
This last appointment in early June, the assistant added some extra padding on the upper back molars to prevent the overbite and allow the upper teeth to move and have the jaw expand to its full shape. So now my teeth don't close all the way and my speech is even funnier than before... FFF, SSS, ShShSh, JJJ, TTT.. Oh well... I find it cute except when I need to spell something over the phone. The best part is that the elastics are gone this time... for now. Oh yes, and they had to remove the pin on one of the upper front teeth and change its direction because this tooth isn't budging. It kinda hurt to cut the pin off the tooth. I hope there will be an easier way to do that once I need to remove all 24 pins!
What was cute at my last appointment is that when I signed in at the door I got a screen filled with balloons and a message that read "Happy Birthday Clo!" (it was 5 days after my birthday) :)
