I saw the orthodontist again last Thursday. Before my appointment on Thursday, last time they told me to do ten more turns before coming back. Ten turns (one in the morning and one at night) would have had me stop turning last Wednesday morning. After seeing that my top jaw wasn't over far enough after ten turns, I continued to turn (even though I wasn't supposed to) as I had been doing twice a day and did twelve turns. As expected, my top jaw still wasn't wide enough, so on Thursday they told me to do six more turns and come back today. Six more turns would've had me stop turning Sunday morning. Just like last time, it still wasn't quite wide enough so I just kept turning as scheduled before and did seven turns. My top jaw is still not wide enough. I'm supposed to do one turn a day for the next two weeks, fourteen more turns! The good news is that they put the braces on my top row of teeth.
Now for some pics!
