Getting Fixed (and not in the spay or neuter kind of way)

I had my first adjustment appointment a week and a half ago. A fixed adjust appointment is where the orthodontist moves on a stage with treatment which can include changing the wires to a different size. Dr Ward is pleased with the progress I have made and was happy to leave my top teeth as they were. My lower teeth were ready to move on a stage... this resulted in him moving the wire on my lower teeth into a different position and re tying this in. For the following few days my brace felt tighter (as expected). Things were a bit uncomfortable although nothing that needed painkillers - I was just more aware my teeth were there! I haven't had any other problems since the initial first week when they were put on. I'm now eating (almost) normally but just trying to avoid anything to hard or crunchy to prevent breakages. My next appointment is in six weeks. To be honest, I have been surprised by a few things I have experienced. I guess the thing to remember is if you have any questions or concerns with what is going on with your brace, don't hesitate to contact your orthodontist. Wiggly teeth = normal, sensitivity = normal. If you have any questions on your treatment, please message me :) Happy Monday to you, G.
