Extractions for braces.

Finally had my extractions done. 
5 teeth in total, due to one of the back molars being 90% filling. The dentist decided to take that one too.
I was originally told that my four first premolars would be taken. Instead I've had 3 first premolars (bicuspid), one lower central tooth and a lower molar. 
The lower central was taken due to receding   gums. Ew. 

Anyway two were taken last week, three today. 
It wasn't painful in the chair, but now it's a bit uncomfortable. I asked my dentist and he said due to the sheer crowding of my teeth, some have moved a little already. 
Yay! 

In three weeks I will have a filling and a clean, spacers in ready for my ceramic braces to go on the following week!

So excited to see the changes in the next few months!!
