Proximation

Today, Ali and I go to the orthodontist to get our next set of aligners and to have PROXIMATION done on our teeth. Proximation was described to us as thinning the teeth to give some additional clearance to move and straighten them. Ok great. What wasn’t great was the way the process was described, like using sandpaper dental floss on a jigsaw. Somehow that imagery does not seem very appealing. Hopefully it is better than I am anticipating it being.

Have you ever known anyone that looks like a yard gnome?
