Sometimes they do really get in there forcing that arch wire into
place don't they?! When they first tied in my one tooth that had
been in behind the others it hurt like a !@#$%^& as the assistant was
struggling to put the arch wire in the bracket.. Stayed sore for
quite some time, but now is not bad at all and is almost perfectly in
line. Like you said, looking forward to the straight teeth, and soon
getting to see it improving will keep you going. Feel free to look at
my photos in the Mikatrex... dir.
