After seeing how great my upper arch now looks I wonder why I didn't do this sooner. And one thing that has really struck me is how much better my teeth would look overall if I had taken better care of them as a child/teenager.
Those massive fillings really take away from the overall look. It is my intention to have those replaced with crowns once my braces are complete.
I've been in my uppers for about 7 months and the lowers only 4 months. I'm very please with the results of both. Next adjustment I get my elastics.
One thing I am super thrilled about is that my upper arch is actually an arch. That rogue bicuspid on the left side of my original upper arch picture is what caused all my upper alignment problems. Because that tooth had to squeeze it's way in it forced my front incisors and canines out of place..and they remained that way until last month when that bicuspid was wired in.
You have no idea how thrilled I am to look at these photos. Worth every penny we're having to pay.
Cheers,
Ice.
