Hi wwdia, just wanted to stop by and add in my experience as far as what I've gotten done since being braced in April. First off let me start out by saying I'm about 3 months into treatment and still am not fully braced on the bottom.
I started out with a partial brace on only the upper 4 front teeth to get me used to the feeling of braces and for aesthetic reasons while I had some extractions done. After I had the necessary extractions of 4 teeth taken care of (2 1st bicuspids on bottom and top), I then had my upper teeth fully braced and a partial brace on the front 6 bottom teeth. After my first adjustment, I had one side of my bottom teeth braced (the front 6 and the back 3 on one side) and at my adjustment just last week, I got the exact opposite of what I had the last time with the other side braced in the same fashion.
So, it's pretty clear I'm not fully braced yet

and still don't know when I will, since I need to make room for a tooth first in order for me to become fully braced on the bottom. As far as my midline, well, my midline was off to begin with so I'm not too worried about it now because I'm sure the Ortho does have that in his/her mind and will be addressed later on during the treatment. Anyway, good luck!
