The final line of this article sums up exactly why I am in braces for the second time, and makes a VERY good point about how much emphasis is put on retainers.

I am not saying it was ortho's fault as I made the decision not to wear them after the braces came off. She was evil though - especially with those spacers! OUCH!!!! New one is a lot nicer.

Appointment a week tomorrow. Really hoping I get a new wire on the bottom, and hopefully even on the top its been so long. I've lost a lot of the bands again, but they stayed on a lot better this time. It is just because I haven't had an appointment for nearly two months now that a lot of them have perished and dropped off.

Demotivated again

Feel a be demotivated again, which is not great. Nothing to do with band in general, but not enjoying the test piece, I have to say, and I am struggling with elements of it. I will write more soon, but off to rehearsal in a while.

Also, the ortho cancelled my last appointment because of sickness, so I have been nearly two and a half months between adjustments. They are supposed to be every 6 weeks, so I am hoping it wont delay my progress. The quicker I get these bloooooody things off my teeth and onto the retainer stage, the better!
