My ortho is going to arrange an appointment with a surgeon at some point to discuss the option of jaw surgery.I have been against surgery all through my treatment but...

Hi again. Had another adjustment today so this means another update from me. I got a thicker wire fixed onto my lowers and my ortho says that there has been further improvement again. On my next appointment she is going to discuss with me about the option of getting jaw surgery or having a permanent...

Thanks for all your replies Platinum, linda21, and KK

I am so glad that other people are noticing changes as well. I should probably be at the end of my treatment in the summer some time.

Hello its me again. Just updating my progress after my adjustment today. I can't remember how many adjustments I've had - I have lost count! :Questions: My ortho says that my lowers have moved loads this time round. :jump: As I mentioned in my other posts, my lower canines were very twisted and were...

Thanks for all your comments. Tin Indian - I love these colour of ligs but I am not sure if they are teal colour. I've had this colour before and I got more of a reaction from people because they are so bright so I decided to go back to them. linda21 and KK - your comments are always so great! sjsar...

Hello everybody. Well its been another month and that means another adjustment. My ortho said my upper teeth have stopped moving and they are all now perfectly straight so I could be getting the upper braces off soon. :-)o My lower teeth have stopped being stubborn and continue to move well. My bite...

Hey PrincessMelody. Ive just been reading your story and I was thinking how similar our teeth look, especially our lower arch. It is really weird. I also got Christmas coloured ligs red and green on my last adjustment on Thursday but my green ones are darker than yours. Anyway, good luck with your b...

Thanks for your comments Linda21 and bracedagain. I'am glad that other people are noticing changes in my lower teeth - I was so worried for a while. :cry: I have actually just noticed today that I have actually got a slight gap developing between my canine and incisor on the right side. Finally I ca...

Hi everyone. Had another adjustment today and everything is looking alot better. My lower teeth having been struggling to move and my last appointment was so disappointing as my teeth had made no progress. As you know from my last post I got a looped wire fitted and it has really done the trick and ...

Hi Stacexox! Sounds like you are managing very well with your braces.

Hey belmikry. Your teeth are looking really good, you must be so pleased.

Thankyou KK and linda21 for your replies. I am feeling really frustrated with things right now as I am not making much progress. Everything went so well with my uppers considering how very crooked they were. It's really my lower jaw which is causing problems with my lower teeth. The thought of havin...

Hi everyone :D Had another adjustment today and things are slowly coming together. There is nothing to report on my top braces as my teeth just look the same and have already straighted out, anyway here is picture from today. http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/4682/0001488ti1.jpg As I mentioned in m...

Thanks bracedagain I am so pleased at my progress so far. I'm just waiting for my bite to correct itself and that should probably take another year. So I hope it passes fairly quickly.

Thanks rage31 and linda21 for your comments. It feels like its been forever for my lowers to start moving. I think they are being very stubborn but I'am glad that the orthodontist said that it is going well :wink: I am also really loving my blue ligs as they make my teeth look shiny and white :D
