I went with silver ties til the next appointment, because they are more discrete on my braces (if that makes sense). They are still pulling that one canine towards the back of the teeth to make room for the tooth that is pushed back. In order to get that canine moving, they added a power chain behind all that weird springy stuff that's tied to the screw up in my gums.
Other than that, there isn't any real painful news or insane updates on my braces. Hoping to see some changes soon enough! Because the canine is getting pushed back into place, I feel like my crooked upper row seems so much more prominent when I smile. I can't wait until they start to really straighten out so I can be more confident in my smile! It's so weird how my upper row is displaced to the left so much.
I'm considering whether I want to stick to more clear-type or less noticeable ties from now on, as I will be trying to get an entry-level job out in the real world. Somehow, I don't think bright pink or alternated color ties would work well in interviews, hahaha!
I'll put up a photo sometime this week...as I have misplaced my USB cord for my camera!
C ya later, Binna.
Pic: Silver ties as I told you. The crooked tooth next to my front teeth on the left for the image. You can see a yellow plastic tie that is tying the tooth to the wire to bring it forward. (:
