Met with Dr.Fatimah. She was pleased with the effects of the elastic bands. She did some scaling on the back of the front lower teeth..after I complained that I have noticed the gums' receding..my teeth look a bit longer than how they looked ( i was comparing pictures that i took while in the early process of braces).
So, i'm going to have a joint-clinic with my OS next month at Queen ELizabeth Hospital. Dr. Fatimah said to lay off using the elastics..just to see if the teeth have stabilized their positions. After the joint-clinic, then she'll see me for the last time before de-banding.Hopefully.
Gosh..it has been more than 4 years! 4 long years.. and in a few more months, I'll be trading in these braces for retainers.
sigh.. i also requested for a copy of my before and after pics that the hosp is keeping. The doc said she'll look into it.
