Everything's going sweet and then ...

Getting ready to go out last night and *bAnG* ... felt like someone had hit the right side of my mouth! Checked in a mirror and the lower right first premolar (biscuspid) isn't happy with the world! It's aching and when I touched the bracket, it was now able to move up and down ... oh dear ... what joy!

Had a good night out ... we beat the Aussie's in rugby league ... so would have taken more than toothache to dull that glory!

Back home ... time to do the 'pre bed routine' and boy it didn't want to be brushed or flossed ... but I held my beath and told it to behave! I noticed that the bracket on that tooth is higher than the teeth on either side and the archwire goes up slightly into that tooth ... so maybe it's being pulled back into my gum ... I have no idea ... but I'm looking forward to finding out!

Sunday ... it's still quite tender ... but only if I touch it ... which I'm trying not to do! Funny how I want to keep checking if it's still hurting ... well maybe not funny ... maybe down right strange and annoying!

Can't help but wonder what's going on in there! It's been nearly five weeks since the lowers were put on ... and now that tooth decides it's time to move! Do they like have a meeting and who ever's in charge say ... 'ok, you've done nothing much in the past four weeks ... time to move ... NOW!' ... I have no idea ... but that's what it feels like.

Hopefully when I take the next photo there'll be plenty of movement obvious, as this has to be happening for reason!

PS Still love my purple ligs!
