A Little Good News

Thursday I dropped by my orthodontist's office because I had a toothbrush bristle caught in my molar band that was poking my tongue. I also needed to get my lower wire clipped as the gap in my teeth where my lower left pre-molar was pulled had FINALLY closed. (After waiting a year for it to close ir really moved closed quickly after the last wire change.) The tech called Dr. H over to look at the lack of gap and he decided to go ahead and change my lower wire to a heavier wire. He also removed the wire spring over the gap area and told me to stop wearing the elastic over that spot also. So, yea!, I am actually ahead for my next appointment. If I hadn't had the bristle problem then it would have been May 21st before I went back in and therefore gotten my wire changed. He seemed pleased with the progress - not enough to move my surgery date up yet, but progress nonetheless.

I also saw my regular dentist earlier this week. Everything, dentally speaking, looks great.
