Hi all! I have had my braces on since august 2024 and I’m getting close to getting them removed. Right now we are just closing a gap since I had my four first premolars removed to help with overcrowding (I think that’s what they’re called?) Usually my orthodontist cuts the wire at the back of my mouth so it isn’t stabbing me in the gums, but today she twisted it and tightened it. Does anyone know why they’ve done that this time, they’ve never done that before and I don’t know if it’s something to do with closing the gap!
