8 months on....still waiting... It's been a year since I had two extractions in my upper jaw, and I'm STILL waiting for the stupid gaps to close. I'll try and explain what exactly I'm waiting for.... On my left hand side I had my first molar removed (my second to last tooth as I have no wisdom teeth) and in the last year my two pre molars had shuffled up to fill the gap, leaving me with a gap between my left canine and first premolar. My canine is now being moved back using powerchains and extra elastics to create a gap between my canine and lateral incisor.
