It's time to give an update on my orthodontic braces! I have been wearing 24 hours a day my headgear to get rid of my reverse bite (thus move my lower canines behind the upper canines). It took me 10 weeks to tilt the lower canines to the correct position.

Now I have a total different feeling when taking a bite. In addition I broke my personal record in the number of orthodontic bits and pieces in my mouth. My 26 teeth (some were extraced to create space) are tight together by 65 orthodontic pieces, and this without counting the glue and cement.
