The last two months have been kind of uneventful. I saw my ortho 6 weeks ago and again yesterday. I was supposed to get my expander out yesterday but last time when he adjusted stuff he put a much stronger wire on my bottom teeth to start to pull them out and I have a crown on my back right molar that the bracket snapped off two weeks in a row. As a result they had to put a special bonded bracket on and give it some time before they could pull hard on it, so this last 6 weeks was kind of a wash.
They really want the expander on when they start to pull the bottom teeth forward since the lower teeth use bands pulling off the upper teeth to open up. When they do this, when the expander isn't in, the upper teeth can start to tip back losing some of the space I worked so hard to gain. As a result they asked me to keep it in until the end of Nov which I will post again at that time.
They are also using cross bands on my right to get rid of my crossbite and realign my occlusion so that it matches up which is huge for posture and wear and tear long term on the teeth. I will keep you posted in a few months, but things are still feeling amazing with zero allergies which is amazing.
