1st adjustment done. Updated with pictures

this is todays picture , 1 mo and 2 weeks into treatment.

I have a spring as can be clearly seen going accross. The tooth without a bracket on is my flipper, aka false tooth that i cant stand anymore because its like a retainer and it just adds more bulk in my mouth now.

My wire is kept in with this cross shaped things that snap into the bracket. Anyones else have these?

see how one side of the teeth look higher than the other, as though there is an incline, is this corrected with braces too? i never noticed that until the braces were on. Is that what 'leveling' is?

Thanks KK! I know the pictures dont always do justice, but I am seeing changes, especially from the side where you can notice the gap between the false tooth and those next to it totally opening up.
Taking photos really helps keep track, ill be taking more as i progress

Cheers!
