Hi everyone, Is the adjustment procedure different for everyone? Just curious. I had my lowers on since Thanksgiving and the uppers on for 2 weeks now. I have read some of your stories and some are on their second adjustment already. As soon as figure this camera out and how to post, I wil post some pics. I havent seen any change yet but Im looking at them everyday though. When I post, curious on your responses. I'm glad on got them though.

Hi teach, sorry but can't advise on adjustments - I am not due for one before mid feb.

I was sent the following advise about photos, it worked for me so good luck:-

Use www.imageshack.us to upload them, PM me if you are have any trouble getting them up.

Hi teach. Adjustments will be different for everyone depending on what your issues are and how quickly (or not) your teeth move. I think on my second adjustment I got a wire change, which really surprised me. Sometimes that happens, other times I'll go for 4 adjustments before I get a wire change. The one thing I learned was to take some painkillers prior to an appointment. I always find any work done on my uppers slightly more uncomfortable than my lowers, but that's probably because I have more problems with my uppers.

thanks LB. I go next week so I guess I will know then.
