4 week progress not a major feat but....

I think considering where i started its pretty major!
I'm excited about it, because its amazing. I am having periodic soreness with certain teeth but when i see how much they've moved its all good! I know you guys see my wax on that one tooth, i dont have to wear it all the time thankfully just when i talk alot, but thats the only place i wear it now so i know my mouth has toughened up or my teeth have obviously moved ha ha!

yeah i got progress on my uppers but they were just in the form of a v like shape and my front teeth had an overlap and dont forget my 9mm overjet.
Which those can be seen in my blog. But they have made quite a bit of progress as well!
Just out of curiousity why do they wait to put lowers or vice versa on? Is there some underlying reason or variation between patients?

Wow ghostmyimag3

I'm jealous, I'm coming up to a month now and my bottom teeth haven't moved half as much as yours. I've noticed movement in my top set but alas the bottom set are more stubborn. I too have an overjet (12mm I've been told) and my overlap up top is straightening out. It is amazing how braces work.
