Elastic = plaque

Hard to believe, but another two months have passed and come 4.30 tomorrow I’ll be sitting in the Ortho’s chair again. At this stage it’s tricky to see exactly what’s happening, but a couple of things are more obvious; my bottom teeth have moved over, so instead of a gap in the middle, I now have a gap on the right hand side - it’s a little like they are doing a slow motion dance, moving from one side to the other every couple of months. Another gap opened up next to my left top front tooth allowing it to straighten out some.

I’m expecting to be tut tutted, because it seems impossible for me to keep the bottom teeth, where the elastic band is, plaque free - so that the plaque is stopping the teeth from completely coming together. Thinking about that I guess it’s also time for another horrendously expensive visit to the hygienist.

I was just trying to do a test to see whether I might have the bite turbos removed, but that’s hard to tell as well, at certain times my teeth do seem to meet and at other times they don’t, so I’ll expect to keep them, even though I’m hoping there’ll go.

I’ve just remembered the broken bracket – that’s going to be interesting, I think it has to be replaced – I’m imagining a pair of pliers…
