I have been told be my otho at my last visit that it would only be 2 more visits and they should be comming off! Now I'm all excited but what do you think of these nearly results (lets say I have another 8ish weeks left)?

this is how my bite normally sits with my back teeth meeting

this is what happens when i make my front teeth meet

I think there is around an 8 mm gap between my top front and bottom fron t when closed normally, is this normal? It hasnt really changed thoughout my treatment. If what my ortho said is correct i have 1 appointment and then off would elastics be too late here or not? because i have kind of been expecting them all along and the have not come.

P.s. sorry about the pics couldnt work out how to link from flickr

It looks like you have an overjet of 8mm(as you said). I believe the normal over jet is like 2-5mm.

It all depends on if that bothers you or not. If you are happy with the way your side profile looks, and if your lips can meet naturally then I see nothing to worry about. The teeth themselves look great.
