Broke out photoshop tonight and pieced together all the best progress pics I've taken over the past 2 years. They're kinda big, but I figured some of you would like to see just how fast teeth actually move.

I'm hoping for a debanding date when I go to my appointment on the 12th.

I think it's interesting that all of your brackets ended up along your gum line.
Is that what they're supposed to look like when they are about done or is it different for everybody?

Thanks for the progress pictures. I just got mine on - just the top, like you. Teeth do really move fast once they get going, huh?

To answer someone's question about the brackets along the gum line - I understand that is just a dental "style" of doing things. The brackets are usually put in the center third of the tooth crown, but some dentists put them on the third closest to the gum.

Wow! Looks great!! It is amazing how quickly the braces moved your teeth into position!

I think part of the reason the brackets on top were positioned so close to the gumline was because of my partial bonding on my left incisor...
