How soon did you see a change, even the slightest?

I think I was about three weeks in when I began to see some change for the better. Of course everybody is different and change will become noticeable depending on their problems.

9 hours! But then not for a while. I saw this new little gap because I think a tooth rotated a little.

I think it's hard to see changes since we are looking at our teeth all the time. I just had my 1st adjustment (4weeks) and was shocked at how much movement there was from the initial photos.

I'm nearly 3 weeks in and I'm noticing gaps between a couple of pairs of teeth as they start to migrate. After only a couple of days one of my lower central incisors began to touch the gum behind my upper incisors as the latter began to procline (I have a deep overbite).

Within the first few days !

Then it seemed slow as I was checking teeth a lot.

Now I hardly ever bother checking unless cleaning and boy have there been changes !
Now up to the 12 week mark.

One bottom tooth was half pushed behind my front bottom tooth and now all of sudden its
sitting perfectly straight along side it - that only took a couple of weeks !! To floss it, used to be
very tight and now the floss pokes straight through the gap easily - amazing !

So just relax and each week things will be on the move - once you see the changes you want,
it is very good indeed !! :D

Within the first 24 hours a low hanging tooth started to move up. It's been two months and the tooth looks half the size which is a good thing.

After a few days. My wires were quite bent at first to bring my eye teeth down. I looked in the mirror one night & the wires were straight. thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. :o

I honestly hadn't noticed anything until I compared photos. I had my braces put on 4 weeks ago and the first photos that I took were on that day. I took some photos last week and noticed that a gap I had is gone, the gap between my two top front teeth is getting smaller and they're moved back a little. I haven't even had my first adjustment yet. It's great :)

Within a week I saw my low hanging bicuspids start to move up. Within three months they moved up to a normal position.
