Update

The last time I went to the ortho, I asked him if we would be able to stay within the 12 month mark he said in  the beginning.  "Well, that's a little close; I think we'll have to add another month onto that."

Grrrrrrr.

It is really just my bite.  And I don't understand it; it was perfect!
But now it isn't.

(Yes, I know: gross picture.  Haha.)

I am still wearing my one rubber band at night.  Well, it is supposed to be at night.  Lately, I have been very tired at night, and I forgot a few times in one week.  So I slowly transitioned to wearing it just during the day, and that seems to be working better.  Crossing my fingers!!
