08-01-2010` braces

Had my braces adjustment 2 days ago. Luckily I asked for clear rubber this time round, because the doctor put the upper chain again. I like his clear rubber.

He explained to me the midline shift will not be corrected, reason being my lower jaw is deviated to the right. If he were to push the upper midline to the right, my facial asymmetry will be obvious and to him, 'not nice at all!'. He was tempted to extract my #15 initially, to adjust the midline but was glad that he didn't. I wasn't aware how difficult it was to him to make the judgement call, as all clinicians will face.

Final adjustments to straighten the lower anterior and fine tuning the upper. I should be able to be off braces and get on with clear retainers after a few more months.

Yay!
