so my teeth aren't moving as quickly as they should be :-( the gaps are closing up, so I may need to get a new stronger wire put in next time, and I wasn't suppossed to get new wires till June.
And....I asked for the light aqua ligs and the girl put in the dark turquoise! i dont' like having dark colors on the braces!! thank god i only have to have them in till march 31st!
so i don't know if i mentioned i found 2 girls at law school with braces...and one told me about these amazing dental good.
these wax dots are well worth the extra $2 over the regular little white wax rolls. while the you can't really taste the flavors, its nice that its preformed in a little dot so you dont' have to roll your wax up in a ball, and this wax has a much b etter texture, it stays intact longer, and it doesn't fall out or move around when you eat. the colors are pretty obnoxious, so they probably wouldn't look that great if you needed wax on front brackets, but i've only been needing wax on the bands on my molars.
these things are soooo much easier than the threader things to use with regular floss. and i love the wide spongey piece of floss, cause some of my teeth have bigger spaces and there's alot of plaque to wipe off around some of the brackets and it gets the job done alot better than regular floss. whats weird is some of my teeth on the bottom are actually tighter together now, and its even hard to get the regular size floss in between them. my dr's answer was just "hmmm" and i think he said it should all straighten out once the gaps are gone or something....
