Question:
I want my braces off so badly...help?
I have asked a question like this before but now it is later on. I wear my elastics religiously every waking moment (plus when i'm sleeping) Unless i am eating. I brush 2 times a day for eh roughly 4-5 mins with mouthwash and a tongue scraper to make my breath smell good. I have had elastics for about...5 months now and everytime I go, the ortho says it's amazingly well! This time he said, "I'll check to see if you still need your elastics." and keep saying, "if you still need your elastics." Although, i still need them till my next appointment :( BUT! he said My overbite is completely gone and i have a power chain on both my top and bottom braces. He says that since i am doing what i should be doing and more, It is making my process go alot faster. They estimated this may. Do you think it is possible to get them off maybe even earlier? I had an appointment 2 days ago and my next is march 23. It's been a long 4 years and i am only waiting for 2 spaces on my top portion of my mouth to close. How long do you think i will have them for? I would hopefully like them off before summer or end of the school year. thank you :)
