The bracket on my upper left central incisor is broken. It's still on the tooth but chipped and cannot hold a ligature. I hope I don't get charged for its repair since I found it almost immediately after my last appointment.
Shhh don't tell on me!

July adjustment
So I have a confession. When I was young I wanted attention. Haha okay let me stop quoting random songs.
I do have a confession though. I have not been very attentive to my braces. I've only been wearing my elastics occasionally and not 24/7. It's been very inconsistent. Kinda like how I treat this blog actually. Anyway that is my big bad braces confession. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this neglect but I still feel upset with myself that it has gotten this far. The only person I hurt by doing this is myself.
Anyway now that I've gotten that off my chest time to get down to business (to defeat the Huns- okay okay I'll stop)
I went in for my adjustment today. Nothing too fancy. Just replaced the ligatures. I still have all the extra stuff, the wedge and the coil spring and the elastics. I was hoping to lose some of it but no I must continue with them all. I guess this is what I get for failing to keep up with everything.
I know I've been promising pictures for a while this is also something I've been slacking in. I had planned in making a video or a sideshow of my progress when I'm finished with my treatment but well we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll still have enough pictures to make that work.

Sorry readers
Real life has been kicking my butt lately. I got into an accident at work and while I'm still living a mostly normal life I'm in therapy 3 times a week.
Let's update. I've been going to my normal visits. Twice in June because the office was closed during the first week of July for independence day. At my last appointment at the end of June my ortho gave me a new device. It's called a wedge. It is located in front of my lower right lateral incisor. The simple explanation is that it is there to sort of turn my tooth. I'll wrote more later. I'm in the doctors office right now for a follow up. Take care my few readers.
