Over the last few months, I have noticed the following changes - see pix below:

• The hole where my tooth was has reduced even more

• The brace on my lower teeth has really straightened them.

The bracket on my crown has still been giving some problems. I was at the dentist last Friday and the ortho tried to fix it back on, but it pinged off as soon as I reached home. I fixed another appointment to have it glued back on. The ortho tried again, but the moment I sat up, PING! She was really calm about it, but this has to be some sort of record. Anyway, she has really glued it firmly this time, and so far there have been no problems.

I still have the TPA in place, though - I am used to it now, but I will be so relieved when it finally comes out.
