(bonus) adjustment #17
Sooo, the day after my previous adjustment, a bracket popped off. I called in and asked when I should come get it fixed, and they said NEXT WEEK! And the bracket that popped off was one of the ones that my left-side elastic hooks on to, so they also said that I should wear either elastic for the whole week!
That was nice. My jaw was so happy. You don't think that having your mouth rubber-banded closed will be uncomfortable, until it can open and close at will without a bunch of hassle.
Anyway, went in today to get the bracket back on, and my orthodontist adjusted my archwire and even said I should wear the left-side elastic at all anymore. Innnnnteresting. And he said "you're getting so close!" W00T!
