18 weeks!! Anna

So I've just returned from the final wire change!! wooo hooo!! Unfortunately it was a wire change and not brace removal :( Ho hum!! However, there's no visible movement (except the gap in my front teeth has closed slightly) in the last 4 weeks-there might be if I took photo's, but as I can't really see it, I haven't bothered to take pictures! The only weird thing I've noticed since getting home is that the upper back left bracket is not there? It's the metal one which I thought kept the wire in place-just isn't there. All 4 back brackets upper and lower are metal. So it's odd that its not there because I thought they would have told me if they were taking it off!! He did tell me he was drilling off some of the ceramic, because where the bracket next to it had come loose, only half the ceramic had come off with it!
Well, I'm pretty sure I'll be back there in the next week or 2 any way, because every time I have a wire change, the pressure causes a bracket to ping off somewhere!!
So, not much to say this last 4 weeks! Not much pain! Am eating everything and anything! Except this week I'm sure will be a soup week due to the wire change!!!
I'm due to go back for another appointment to change the elastics and check the spacing on 1st December! Again, I hope this wire change will work miracles and he'll whip the braces off! However, I'm a little worried that next month will be like this last one and nothing will have change :( Hope that's not the case!! Fingers crossed!!!!!
