Just checking in with everyone and posting some of my recent progress pics. My extraction gaps are closing slowly, but I think my top teeth are looking pretty good. Anyway here they are: Sorry if the last pic came out too big. I just couldn't get that pic to work for me!!

your teeth look awesome!

your teeth before looked a lot like mine, and i had extractions, too. i think my ortho is waiting for my tops and bottoms to be straightened and then i get the power chains! my top teeth are already straight but the bottoms are pretty slow going.

Thanks guys for your support. Sorry again about the last picture. I'm not sure what happened with that

Oh well, at least I got 'em on there. Thanks again. I mean to get on here more and keep in touch with everyone, but with work and all I don't get much time. I'll try to start keeping in touch a little more often. Talk to you soon!!

Amazing changes. I hope I see that much change after 4 months.

How great Gracie! Congratulations!!!

Your teeth are looking really good! I like the color of your powerchains too! 4 months with a lot of progress, amazing.

By the way, I'm viewing the last pic at the same size as the others, and it looks ok.

Keep us posted of your great progress

Amazing! Looking at pics like that make us beginners soooo happy and motivated!!!!
I wonder if your orto got surprised too, or was he expecting things to go so well and so fast...

Thanks so much for all your support. My orthos says everything is going as planned, and he is very pleased with the way my teeth have moved

btw thanks for all the compliments! I love the blue ligs, they are my favorite!! Keep in touch and I'll be talking to ya!

Oh & about the pic, it seems all right now. It just looked much bigger than the first two when I first posted it. Now it looks normal! What do ya know, I did know what I was doing

Hi gracie381,

Your teeth look great!!! and only after 4 months. I bet you're so happy to see the great progress.

How much longer do you have to wear your braces?

I was told my treatment would be 2 years. I pray it will be shorter, but I still have a long way to go with my bottom teeth and my bite, but hey they are looking really good on top, so that's an accomplishment in itself. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a shorter treatment, but anyway it'll be worth it no matter how long I have to wear them!
