I went to get my braces tightened, today. This is my second time getting them tightened. As you can see, I have rainbow bands. :) My daughter wanted me to get them. Not my style, but, I wanted to make her happy.
So, on my upper, right side ( your left) I have a tooth that grew in twisted. It was like someone took my tooth, with their fingers, and literally turned it 45 degrees. So, last month and today, I got what is called a, "cuspet." It is a thin wire, twisted around the bracket, then, twisted, more, to make my tooth face it's normal direction. Last month, it worked, and the tooth, gradually moved. But, not enough. This time, after the ortho looking at the twisted tooth, he wanted the cuspet on,again, and more extensive.
So, the assistant, got moving, and first did the cuspet. She pushed down on my tooth so much, I wanted to shout, so loud! It hurt so much!!!!! And, the pressure and pain, lasted for minutes. OUCH!!!! After, she twisted the small wire towards the back of my teeth,to straighten it out. But, it hurts, even, now!
Then, she put the wire in the top. A new wire in bottom. A thicker wire. Right now, my twisted tooth is in a lot of pain. All my teeth feel a lot straighter, because of the adjustment. I expect it will hurt, in the coming days and weeks.
