I Hate Geometry

So time for some orthodontic news....

I went to visit my friends at Amherst Ortho today. I haven't seen them in a while. I am sure they missed me. I was a bit nervous about what kind of contraption they were going to put in my mouth this time....and thankfully they did NOT disappoint.

Before I divulge into that fun let me explain my bite now...I now have 2 bites. Yes 2. One is the functional bite and one is called some fancy name, or neutral. My functional bite is the one that everyone sees every day...the normal one where I would chew, and close my mouth at. Now the Neutral bite is for example when I sleep. For most people, this is the same as the other, for me not so much. My bite slides back. Why I don't know...I just know it does. Is it bad? Again I don't know. The orthodontist told me lots of people live with a dual bite and are fine. Whether or not I can is not the issue for me...I don't want to. I just had surgery to fix a crooked bite and now I end up with another issue?!?! How the hell does that work!? Anyways I don't know how someone would correct it, I know my orthodontist wanted my surgeon's number which can never be good. Watch me end up in there again....I'll even bet on it. Damn genetics...

So after that fun news, I get elastics. Oh yes....it wasn't going to be hey here's some cucky news, see ya in a few weeks...nooooooooooo. I was supposed to wear 3 elastics, but thankfully the orthodontist had some issues with my wire and broke a bunch of brackets so I only have one...but this one is a doozy. On my top I have 2 hooks left, the 2 teeth on either side of your front teeth. On my bottom, I only have the 2 very front ones still with hooks. Sooooo you guessed it, I have them all looped in a giant rubber band trapezoid. Who brought the cool kid?? Oh that's right I did. Thankfully the back set of rubber bands are not in. Those will be a triangle on each side.....Have no fear, I will be getting those in 7 weeks in addition to the trapezoid from hell....hahahaha....

Anyways, another lack luster trip to the orthodontist with no promise of being freed anytime in the near future. Its not looking promising for being released this spring, but you never know.

On the plus side I think I am getting a car tomorrow! Woot woot!! New ride here I come! And I promise to all 5 of my readers that I will never drive when I am tired again.

Have a great weekend!
