To Shirley

[Guest guest]

Hello there, Shirley - How's your recovery and healing coming along?

Just thought I'd write and say hello. Well, I've survived five weeks

in braces and boy, are my teeth moving. My first Ortho adjustment

appointment was last Tuesday and he is very pleased at my progress.

He says my teeth and gums look really healthy and I'm doing a good

job with all the cleaning. He was impressed with all the movement and

decided to change my wires from #14's to #16's. He only uses

Continuous Force Wires, and these are also heat-activated. He says

I'm right on schedule, but I was hoping he would tell me that I'm

ahead just a little bit - would help my morale, although I feel

really positive. Hope everything is going well with you. Take care.
