Even though you can't see changes, trust me they're happening. I find if you take pictures more often, the less changes you'll see. It's hard but I waited a month to take pics. Then I could see changes, even if they were little ones, and knew something was happening.
Also, just because your teeth aren't sore anymore doesn't mean nothing is happening. Mine tend to be tender one day and the not the next and then tender again. It's very normal

newbie: I've been braced for 14 months and I, too, though my ortho wasn't very aggressive(compared to my sister's ortho). I was "sentenced" to 22 months and just last week my ortho said I may have them off as early as June(that's 6 months early). Every ortho is different and it may feel like (s)he's not being aggressive enough, but it's not healthy for things to move TOO fast...it can be damaging in the long run.
It's still early in all your treatments. Be patient..I know, easier said then done

. I was once in your shoes and there will be more ups and downs but we're all here at AW to help out.
If you would like to see my progress story, just click on the www at the bottom of my post. Hopefully my pics will give you some idea of the rate teeth could/should/will move.
