@bradhov - That's sad news about missing your wife's removal appointment. I missed Carrie's first adjustment, but I'm not going to miss another. She prefers it when I go with her, anyway.

UPDATE:

Carrie had her third adjustment yesterday afternoon. I took a half day off work. We had lunch (Mexican food) and a couple of drinks, and headed to the ortho practice. We waited about ten minutes and then they took us in.

The orthodontist saw Carrie immediately. Results:

- She got a slightly heavier upper archwire. No change to the bottom, except re-tying with new ligs.

- She's continuing with the upper power chain.

- They did not have lavender ligs/chains, so she went with light blue. We both think it looks good.

- The hated bite stoppers remain in place.

- No elastics yet.

- The ortho will do x-rays at her next appointment and is likely to move some brackets. She may get the bite stoppers out at that time.

- Next appointment is October 12th.

Naturally she immediately felt pressure on her upper arch, because of the stronger wire and the power chain, but it's nothing she can't handle. We went to happy hour after the appointment, where she had some wine but no food.

In all, it was a pretty normal adjustment. I got some good video which I will post on YouTube once I get it cleaned up.

Hatte auch schon überlegt eine neue Anfertigen zu lassen - vorallem der Twinblock sprach mich an - aber bei diesen unverschämten Preisen lass ichs..

unverschämt / dreist ist hier wirklich das passende wort..

Gegen eine Leichte Preiserhöhung im Rahmen hat keiner was - Auch Produkte werden im Einkauf teurer-- aber Sorry nicht in diesem Ausmaß..

Der Erfolg des Shops lag meines Erachtens genau an der guten Qualität und den wirklich vernünftigen Preisen..

Punkt 2 ist nun dahin.. Anscheinend ist hier jemand gierig geworden.. Wirklich Schade..
