A whole top diamond and the bottom row's gold.
To get an update on my bite's progress, I paid my orthodontist a visit today. He said it was closing up nicely! (Although I haven't been as diligent with the rubber bands as I probably should be) I also expressed concern about the gap in between my two front teeth, a problem which he eliminated quickly with a clear chain. For a reason I cannot recall, he also bent the wire, causing one of my front teeth to be pulled down unevenly. I think I'm going to call for another appointment-- I really don't think that this was his intention.
But some GOOD NEWS: I may get the braces off in just four months instead of six! If everything progresses as it has been, I will be fitted for a large medieval mouthguard-like retainer that I will wear at night sans braces to keep my bite in check instead. YAY!
Also took a new passport photo today:
Things have certainly changed in five years!
