So, after the last visit I noticed that the bottom 4 front teeth had no bands on them. I just assumed the orthodontist didn't put any on as I didn't think I could have lost them so quick.
I should have checked with the dentist, and this is a lesson to everyone out there, if in doubt check, because they should have been there and I have probably just set myself back at least a month on my progress.
The bands have 'jumped' is the professional term, meaning because of the metal things that hold the Hannibal bands on, they can come off easier, and they have. Now the arch wire is too far away from the teeth because the have moved so much that I have to go back a step and have them realigned.
The only reason I went and checked was because one of them had been really pushed back, and I though this isn't right, my next appointment is in 2 days time so was going to wait. I am so frustrated with myself that I waited this long and thought it was normal.
So moral of the story, if in doubt, check, as otherwise you may prolong the treatment.
