So on my exact 5 week mark, I had my last post op orthodontist appointment (well I think so anyway LOL). As I said in my previous 'week 5' post, I mentioned I would be so happy if I could take all the elastics off! My dream came half true and that's just as good! He took off the elastics that I could also remove myself, then took off the two grey ones that go along the brace. By this point the elastics weren't giving me as much trouble as two weeks ago so I wasn't as majorly bothered as I thought I was but it was still so good to have them off! My orthodontist said about me still wearing the removable elastics but only at night which I was happy about! To be honest, they never really bothered me after the first few days of having them because I got used to them and the routine I had to do so it was no longer an issue. But I was really good with my elastics and it paid off because now I only have to wear them at night! Result!
Also my surgeon came down as well and this is the first time I had seen him since about ten minutes before my surgery haha! He came to check on the bite and was really impressed and looked at my x rays and compared them and he also got a tool and tapped my face to see if I had any feeling. I thought I didn't but I actually do...very slightly. It's obviously still very early days so I wouldn't have that complete sensation but I do have more feeling than I thought I did.
Me and my mum thanked my surgeon and I also mentioned on behalf of my dad that he also says thank you and even though my braces treatment isn't finished yet, I still also thanked my orthodontist. They really are two incredible men that have changed my life forever, I cannot thank them enough.
