Looks good. Isn't it amazing how crooked and uneven your archwire starts and then within days it starts straightening out. Mine was completely straight within 4 weeks of getting my archwire put on. I was totally amazed.
I completely agree. It's so nice to see the drastic changes like that at first. It is kind of frustrating after that because it seems like nothing is happening. In 3 weeks, however, I am getting my archwire put on my bottoms so I get to see some more drastic changes, albeit more pain
