Check Up

So this is what they did. I sat down, Dr. Noguchi looked at my teeth and on my second incisor my coil was shortened to go to my far right and the wire was connected to that tooth so that it can start to forward and straighten out. The dental assistant was to do it and failed. It hurt and I was tearing up as she kept pushing my tooth back and the wire would not attach to it correctly. After her trying for about a few minutes she called Dr. Noguchi to help her, he did it in about 5 seconds. "You're going to feel a little bit of pressure right now".. uhm yeah, it hurt but not as much as when the dental assistant was trying to do it. They also put spacers between my back right molars because of the fact that one of the brackets came off of my "number 6" tooth which was a porcelain tooth (where I had my root canal before). So, they are getting it ready for a band which is made out of metal and will cover the whole tooth so the arch wire can attach to it. I'm sure that procedure will eave me in even more pain. Thus, my next appointment is not in a month but in only two weeks. Right before I go back to school too. I'm tired and again on pain medication so I'll put pictures up later tonight. But other than that, he did say "good good.. everything looks good so far, you'll start noticing your bottom teeth to straighten out now and next time I see you we can finish putting on the braces on your molar". I need ice cream or something.
