General Update: First Mishap + Movement

So since my last appointment roughly 4 weeks ago, Ive had a wire on the top left side that is slightly too long and man is it shredding the inside of my cheek! I didnt really notice it until the 3rd or 4th day otherwise I obviously would have had my ortho clip it but it started to cut my mouth really bad for about 2 weeks and it slightly healed for a few days but now its sore again. I heard if I leave it too long it could cause an infection. I was trying to stick it out as my ortho is about 30 minutes away and I didnt want to drive that long for a 30 second appointment but its getting to the point where I may just go in early. My next appt was June 22nd and its the 12th today, hopefully  I can get in this Friday because talking and eating is driving me nuts! My mouth literally feels scarred!

As for movement, I've never really noticed much before, as the 3 bottom problem teeth still have springs so movement and straightening isnt even possible, but for the top 3 teeth that were slightly turned in and crooked, they seem to have moved and straightened almost completely! Its a relief seeing progress since most of my problem teeth still have springs and I still dont see changes even after 5 months. My ortho said almost all my teeth have made room so wires will be hooked up to the problem teeth very soon! That means a lot of pain and movement, but Im excited to see more results!
