brackets on the erupting tooth

If you have been following my blog posts on my dental makeover that has been going on for about eight months now, nearly about 4 months ago i mentioned that my hidden permanent tooth has been attached to the archwires and are now in the process of being pulled down. A noticeable progress have been made so far and the tooth almost more than a quarter portion down already.

In the post about my hidden tooth being pulled down, i mentioned some rubbery-band was put on it instead of the typical dental brackets due to lack of visible space on the hidden tooth. Well now the tooth has come down a fair amount of length for which the brackets can now be tried on.

see that little guy coming down from the upper jaw?
