It's expected that uppers went off on september. Doctor said that she want to expand a little bit the molars and it will be all ok

Hello everybody Here you have the pics of the progression of my treatment. Uppers are supossed to be out in september, now i'm dealing with the hawley retainer (i will put some pics later). Any comments just ask! Initial situation: underbite. 2 weeks before brackets, spacers in (they did hurt a lot!...

thanks Karen, I hope your teeth comes in the right place as mines. I'm still thinking in what will happen when the braces came out, because the space between the lowers and uppers its 1-1/2mm aprox, and i dont want to have the reverse bite again!

thanks meryaten It's only the third day since the OD decided to re-locate the bracket next to the metal band, so that's why still hurts. To tell you the truth i prefer the arch to be metalic instead of white, just because it chips, but it last more in the lower teeth than in the upper (in the upper ...

thank you lisa!

Hello
I saw before in the web a plastic item (a kind of lip stretcher) for sale, but I don't remember where exactly.
Could you please help me to find out it?
Thanks in advance

Thanks gsx ... and how many weeks/months did you wear class III elastics before your uppers were in front of your lowers :?: Sorry for all the questions ... but I'm a little lacking in patience in this area, and keen to know the time frame for others! :banana: kiwi, don't be afraid to ask... for me...

I started wearing them as long as I'm not eating.
I calculate 20 hours a day, more or less.
The better is to take pictures after an adjustment, thats when your see clear the improvements (I forget to do it in one or two adjustemnts)
regards

thank you KK

I'll work on reduce the picture dimensions.

I become braced on 22 december 2005, so i'm 11 months braced now. Expected to be 18 months treatment, I've been a good patient as I have take care to wear the elastics as long as I can (not only in night time)

Regards
