Today was my very first adjustment! It was much less scary than I had anticipated, but I have been forewarned that the next one will be much worse. It was about 6 hours ago, and only now are my teeth starting to feel a great deal of pressure. They didn't put a new wire in, just changed the ligatures (I chose turquoise this time, though - I really miss pink; im definitely a pink girl all the way) and added a powerchain to my last two teeth on the left side. They also wrapped a horrid pokey-wire around my left incisor.
When I met with the orthodontist after this, he said that he was greatly pleased with my progress and that things were moving along much faster than he had expected. Woohoo! He also said they were spic and span.
The canker sores in my mouth are getting a little bit ridiculous though. They were bad the first week of braces, but now, they've made their reappearance and they seem to be back with a vengeance. I guess that's the price you pay for having a mouth full of metal.
Next adjustment: April 7, 2011
