Spinwheels

It's been a couple weeks since the last post I did about switching out my brackets. I wanted to note that on that visit they put these spinwheels on the wire. Spinwheels is a word I made up. I know this because I looked it up in the dictionary and it wasn't there. In between the lateral incisor and the canine they put these circular wires. They are like those slinkys from my childhood that I would drop on the first step of the stairwell as a kid and watch it slink down. Anyway when I lick my teeth it cuts me every time because they are tongue pinching jerks. I would also like to mention that in the two weeks since that visit my bite has drastically changed. Nobody has said anything about my appearance but I can see a huge difference. The bite is really open now, my cheeks are very round--they were round before but now I look like an apple head. I am having an even harder time chewing than before. Also, my lips don't touch when my jaw and bite are at rest.
