Have you noticed that flossing between certain teeth has changed? A lot of times changes at first are subtle. I know that for me, I had little visable change for about the first month, but after that, things took off!

Good luck!

I've been in braces for 1 month and don't notice any changes I'm sure changes are happening so I'm just being patient. Right now I'm just in braces both upper and lower, on tuesday I go in for spacers and 2 weeks from that I go in for bands to be placed.

Changes are underway

I've been braced for 2 weeks now and last night I could floss between certain teeth for the first time. I can't see any movement at all - the only way I can tell is because of the change in flossing. I also have a bend in my top archwire. It was originally between my two front teeth. I've noticed that its slightly off center now. I assume this is due to movement as well.

I'm sure things are moving but not enough to visually make a difference at this point.

Was braced for all 9 months of my pregnancy and managed to keep fresh elastics on during all 26 hours of labor!!
