Long time no post......2 years+ update w/ pics

#1 Post by Gable74 »

Hello everyone, long time no post. Its been over 2 years now and I should be getting these suckers off right around my birthday this July!! I have recently had to start wearing elastics right in front to correct a slight midline issue, but the ortho still says early to mid summer they will be off. So it looks like i will be a few months early from my scheduled removal (due to not having extractions) and I cant wait. I have not kept up with the weekly pics since the movement slowed down, but I have been doing it every month or more just for my records. Here are the latest pics (plus the oldies), I am very happy with the progress and cant wait to be naked!

Wow, this is awesome!!! Congrats on the magnificent movement.

My upper is just like yours used to be, so I'm thrilled to see your results; There is hope for me yet. My tooth that is sitting back there is not yet attached after almost 13 weeks; only second month with a spring.
