My gaps are taking forever too. about a mm on one side and it just never seems to close. Tonight I took extra elastics and put them on to try and speed things along myself. i know people might disagree with me doing my own thing but after two and a half years enough is enough. I want this over!
actually my braces started may.2006, i put 2005, sorry about it.
yes, it is never closed. My next visit is this Friday, will see what the ortho says. Everytime i see him, he said, "your braces are done soon"!! haha
