Just an update Next adjustment is Tuesday the 13th!

Thank you! I am still shocked how much my teeth have changed. I really didn't think it would be possible. Since I took the most recent pictures, my midline has lined up exactly where it should be. WOW! Now I guess what is left is to close all the gaps on my lower teeth and put on the 4 final bracket...

Little by little each adjustment moves things along! Still trying to center the midline on the lower and yesterday the Dr. Repositioned a bracket on my lower left canine. The tooth was being tilted instead of straight up. Back to wearing te small Elastics after my teeth stop aching! Powerchains are ...

Update!

My midline is almost centered! If you compare with the picture above!

And loving my side profile. Yippie!!!

Not symmetrical yet, but he is trying to move my lower teeth over. I have a small gap still on the right from where my bicuspid was ...

Thanks for the response. I think that may be my issue. My throat is fine today. So strange! But my teeth HURT! Ouch. Maybe they shifted differently overnight.

I like b&w photos! They make my teeth look white! Hehe. Shadows from the wires make them look discoloration

Hi! And thank you laraa! :) I went my appt. today. Last month they were correcting an over correction of an overbite. It seems to be much better. Now we're back to closing the small gap where the tooth was pulled. I have an upper and lower power chain across trying to shift things over to correct th...

This kind of looks similar to mine! Did you have surgery to correct your underbite? You should check out my post! it hand a minor underbite with a tooth extraction that is correcting mine!

http://i58.tinypic.com/v2y45s.jpg Thank you cata! :pinkbraces: Here's another from today. My face looks weird to me cropped, but not when my whole face is showing. I still have some gaps on the right side (left side in the pic!) then I think my smile will not look so off. Maybe? The Dr. always says...

http://i59.tinypic.com/nbpydg.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/29poitf.jpg Here is an update! I am still in the same elastics, my underbite is gone! My gaps are still slowly closing up, but now it doesn't look like a ever lost a tooth ;) I am married as of July 12th! And I am so happy with the outcome of...

http://i60.tinypic.com/mwxld3.jpg Another update! Things are looking better! Our wedding is a month away! Our wedding shower is tomorrow and I'm feeling more confident about my smile and being around. A lot of people. I knew my braces wouldn't be off before the wedding, and we thought maybes fiancé...

http://i61.tinypic.com/s30lyu.jpg Here's a frontal of today's adjustment... Top is of today, bottom is from a few months ago. I have a powerchain half way across the bottom to close up the gaps from my tooth removal. Pretty painful. But seeing results! So weird to feed front teeth touching... Almos...

http://i60.tinypic.com/2wd0u37.jpg In a few days I will have had my braces on for 8 months! Picture above was when I had my braces put on (top) and of present time, today (bottom). I haven't worn my elastics in a week because of another bad canker sore directly in line with where the elastics stret...

Not sure what you mean by your comment? Sent you a pm!

Thank you, larra! http://i59.tinypic.com/2w4jok3.jpg Where the power chain is and where the gum kind of "v"s in is where the bicuspid was removed (right side) it's closing pretty quickly as it has only been two months! Still in worm elastics. Had a powerchain last month to close gaps on up...
