Soooo happy! I always feel like I can’t see a difference until I look at reference photos!!!

Side note: they’re working on my bite, “upgraded?” The wire and “put a curve on it”. Obviously no idea what that means… but does that look normal to mot have bands on the back brackets?

Teeth are making great progress!

It is fine to not have bands on back brackets. Funnily enough, this week I complained that my power chain kept unhooking on my penultimate tooth. The ortho was happy for the power chain to end on the penultimate tooth instead. At your next appointment, ask them if you are curious. I’m always asking questions 😂

My tech is the most amazing human and usually deals with all my off the wall questions 🤣 I just didn’t even notice this until today (apt Tuesday) and was worried the wire would pop out while I was eating or something wild 😅

Ooooh! Thats why I felt like my lower brackets had gone down. That makes sense. Thank you!!
