#1 Post by ziggyziggy »

is it just me or does it seem like there is only visible movement 2 weeks after every adjustment. I remember the day I got braced, I kept waiting to see something but it took 2 weeks before i saw some teeth movement. Then after some noticeable movement I went back for my first adjustment. Nothng happeded until 2 weeks later where i saw my jaw pulled back so dramatically that my underbite closed properly. Then right now on my second adjustment I have yet to see any movement but tomorrow is exactly too weeks.... anyone with me on this?

My movement has been all over the show. Sometimes I notice a difference a coupld of days before an adjustment. Just can't pick what is going to happen when.

I seem to get lots of moves straight away, then a quiet patch when I get all comfy and think the next adjustment is going to be easy...and thn 2 or 3 days before an adjustment they set off on the move again....I think just so they can be tender for the adjustment :shock:
