Update Time,
Last thursday I went back for a checkup. When I arrived I directly got assigned to an assistent. She put me in the chair and removed my old wire by clipping open the backets.
Then she put in a somewhat ticker wire (.016 niti), I believe that my old wire was .012 or .014. After she clipped the wire into the brackets en bend the wire ends to the inside she was done.
A few minutes later the orthodontist came for a check-up. He mentioned there was progress, altough I didn't see any over last month. He said I can get bottom braces in 2 months if I want to straighten out the lower jaw as well. Probably going for lowers as well.
I can definitely feel this wire doing his work, since i feel a constant pressure on my teeth now.
Saturday I was bored and decided to do an extra thorough cleaning of my teeth. I clipped my brackets open and took the wire out myself. The brackets feel extra sharp en bulky when there was no wire. After some thorough brushing I made some photos without the wire en put the wire back in. Was a fun little thing to do on a saturday.
