Went to see my ortho today. After another week of elastics, the distance of the open bite has gotten smaller by 0.5mm(only?). Since i mentioned to her that the elastics don't feel as tight as the first few days i wore them, she gave me another packet of elastics which had elastics smaller than the ones i previously used. Which means, the tension will be tighter. Ok..
I opened my mouth as big as i could for her to trim the cusp of the 8th tooth. After trimming, closing the bite was a bit better.
at 5th week
at 6th week..
tita! gap is closer no? notice the elastics wound around the 4 front teeth (the kobayashi hooks).
