All quiet on the occlusion front...

So nothing ground breaking as far as my orthodontic treatment. I went to an appointment about a week or so ago. It was just a quick look and a new elastic configuration. I have two 'boxes' starting on my canines and one diagonal elastic from a canine on my right side to a molar in the back. At least I got bumped to the 'not so strong' elastics this time for the 'boxes' anyways--the diagonal one is still the really strong ones!

I do see a little improvement with my midlines lining up but I'm really not too concerned with that. You really can't see my bottom teeth when I smile anyways! But my molars are meshing a lot better than before I started with the elastics.

My ortho said I'm still on track to get these things off 6 months after the surgery date which brings me to about the end of February. Hopefully that stays true but, then again I don't want them off before they are ready to. But I really can't wait to brush the entire surface of my teeth again!!! It's the small things ya know!!

I go to see my OS in the middle of December, which I have not seen since September!! I wonder what he'll say.....

My lower lip and middle of my chin still feel a bit stiff (just like the 'wax beard' that Erin explains!) and 'pins and needles feeling. But my front tooth has stopped with the weird spasm feeling thingy that was happening!! Yay!

I will have to update with some pics this week on a day where I actually sorta look presentable and not just like I'm running to class!! Till then...
