6 month progress pics!!

#1 Post by skittley80 »

Well here are my progress pics.. I've been braced now for 6 months. Just had my 3rd adjustment yesterday, got a thicker wire and the bottom, and also a spring thingy between two of the teeth to make room for a tooth that needs to get in line.

On a side note, I made another post about how the ortho will push my teeth outward on the bottom. You can sort of see in these pics what I'm talking about.. Does anyone have any clue how they do this? I don't have my back molar banded yet, and they look to be further out that the rest, so I'm wondering if they band the back molar and pull the others out that way.. so confused lol

Anyway here are the pics.. The top picture on each is the day I got braced, and then the bottom was yesterday. Doesn't look like I've made a whole lot of progress, but it's some, so i'm happy.

Here is a frontal comparison

Here is the top which looks to be pretty much in line the way it should be

And here is my mess, the bottom

Yes, there is definitely progress there.

I don't know the answer to your question about pushing teeth outwards, sorry.
