Adjuatment - short lead time

It was adjustment day again?? Ya.. I know.. The lead tome is so short.. Only two weeks!!! Lol bit it was good enough for my backup teeth to move to the front..

And I was already having two bites.. One is when I can close my bite with my back teeth infront; and second bite with my back teeth behind..

Ortho said he gonna slow down my treatment now since I have suffer quite a bit and I guess too fast is not a good thing either.. And there goes my 'targeting within one year'. And he also told me that I have really sensitive teeth that reacts really fast.. So.. Ya ya ya.. Slow down..

Images later! Cheers!!

Ouch...7th Month into Becky

Images of my adjustment..

Basically, lower set of teeth is on full powerchain and focusing on closing up gaps.. And upper row is to get my backup teeth out (which is already half way through).

 

 

 

 

Pain Die Me!

ahhhh... just came back after adjustment!

Ortho lifted my jaw really high this round; because he commented that the cushion he created for me the last time, it is almost gone.. haha.. So he give me a "BIG lift"

I am in terrible pain now.. Image later...

5th Adjustment (Edited)

This is the weirdest adjustment I ever will encounter.. Why? Haha I'm given something call cushion.. Which is some sort of clay/ceramic again that will lift my jaw up so that my back-up teeth could move to the front!!!

Now I can forget about eating all my cravings in Hong Kong! But I didn't wish to wait any longer for my teeth to be perfect because Doc says base on my progress.. My treatment can be complete in a year.. Which means by this year 2011!!

That is the only thing I'm super looking forward to.. So.. This round I was given cushion, bottom row gonna move back to close all gaps.. And upper backup teeth is to move to the front..

Shall go home and take some pictures and upload it separately..

4th Adjustment

Great movement!!! Thats what Dr said... He even had plans of bonding my 'backup' teeth and start moving in to the front.. But he said it will be really tough for me and it's festive season, he don't wanna torture me...

Therefore, you will find an ultimate long powerchain on my top row of teeth cos Dr wanna create more space for the back teeth.. And the most irritating part of that back teeth is what?? I won't be able to close my mouth entirely until it has successfully cross over.. Gosh!!

However, that wouldn't happened till next adjustment.. Lol

Alright, it's getting late and I'm gonna crash Becky! Night

3.5 adjustment?

Well, this should have been written last week but I was simply too busy celebrating New Year!! Lol

Anyway, after having springs for about 10 days.. Doctor decided to remove it since it has given him enough space...

Why did I go back in the first place?? It was all because of the metal ring!!! It got loose and cut into my gum when I chew my food on the right side.. So I though of heading back for a quick fix...

But who knows?? It went so well.. That doc decided to remove the springs, put on powerchain to close up the extracted tooth gap.. Of cause its to make even more space later to move that tooth from the back... Excited!!!

And it was super amazing when doc said I'm only on Becky for 4 months and my progress has been really good!! Does that mean there will be a higher chance that I can complete my treatment in less then a year???

Can't wait for my perfect smile!!! :)
