Pheealzabraces: Photo Gallery, weeks 1, 2, 3

July 11: The hot mess on the morning of the initial installation.
July 13: Two days after installation.

 July 17: Up close and personal.

July 25: Two weeks out, First rewire and banding. They added a second wire to the top brackets to help with spreading out the upper palate. The banding was initially what they called a box. A SINGLE elastic between the two upper eye teeth down to the two lower eye teeth and across. I was never able to re install the single elastic and actually ended up ripping the bracket off the upper left eye tooth trying Monday night. When I went back Tuesday afternoon to have it re attached, Dr. Hall went ahead and told me to do individual elastics from upper to lower eye tooth on either side.   
A much easier endeavor. The second wire should be coming out on the 8th, a decision on the elastics will depend on how much the teeth have moved.
