No pain!? Yay!

Despite having my upper wire changed and having all my soup and yoghurt on standby, I am astonished that I am in no pain at all! Wow!

Starting to Look Different

After having the elastic bands placed behind my front six incisors, I couldn't actually bite into anything for a month! All worth it though, as my teeth have really moved into a block and are looking wider and more even along the top. This is where you really benefit from choosing Incognito - you can actually see yourself gradually get more attractive! With conventional braces you have a "big reveal" at the end, but with these you can enjoy the benefits immediately from the moment they start to move! I feel so much more confident already with the line and size of my top set of teeth changed!

The orth has removed the elastics and used a wire in a lattice behind my teeth to keep them together in a neat block.

There still wasn't enough room to connect my lower left canine so the orthodontist has put another, bigger spring into the gap to try to widen it further. The lower set cannot progress without the canine being attached, so no wire change there, however my top set wire has been upgraded to a thicker, more powerful wire.

I barely even remember my tongue having been so sore at the beginning now - it's so comfortable now and if you watch my Vlog you can see that my speech is really settled and normal.
