I know a lot of you don't care about the progress of my orthodontic treatments, but here it is for those who do
here's the timeline of the stuff that's been put in my mouth
May 2013 : Plastic spacers put in between two bottom teeth and two top teeth
June 2013 : Top spacers taken out, replaced with METAL spacers (yeouch)
July 2013 : Bottom spacers taken out, also replaced with metal spacers
August 2013 : Palate expander put in roof of mouth, spacers left in
September 2013 - January 2014 : Expander tightened every night, spacers taken out in January
February 2014 : Spacers taken out, expander glued closed, braces put on
March 2014 : Nothing
April 2014 : Braces taken out (wtf)
May - September 2014 : Nothing
October 2014 : Expander finally taken out (dumb stuffs forgot it was even in there)
November 2014 - February 2016 : "come back in 4 months"
March 2016 : Started going to new orthodontist, loving finally
Today I just got my spacers put back in, and this time around they jammed TEN in. One broke during the process and it's the worst pain in the world to have a plastic spacer break while it's jammed between your teeth. Anyway, they're basically restarting the whole process besides the palate expander, but a lot quicker. On Wednesday (the 30th), I'm getting my braces put back on. I just think it's handicapped how my old orthodontist never did anything. I would have had my loving braces off this year, but instead I'm going to have them until like 2018 or 2019, then I'm still going to have a retainer until 2021 or 2022. This sucks, but at least it's sooner than later.
