My ortho said he is very pleased with my progress, and that my teeth are starting to unravel nicely
They took some photo's, and the ortho tweaked the wire a bit in various places and that was it! The ortho also said that I should be ready for new wires next time and he scheduled my next appointment for 6 weeks time (this one was 8 weeks after getting my braces put on).
I'm pleased that I'm getting slowly nearer to that goal of straight teeth!
Very cool Lizzy- Glad things are going smoothly for you. How does the new wire feel? I get my 1st adjustment 5/11 & Im totally looking forward to it. Scared & Excited. I havent had any pain so far so Im intrigued on how the adjustment feels.
I went in for my first cleaning in early March and the ortho thought I had made "dramatic" progress. I wasn't quite as impressed as he was. He added some stops to my same wires and within a few days my teeth started moving faster again. He said it was a way of getting maximum use out of my first wires and I think he was right because the improvement was really noticeable. A few weeks later, I got my 2nd set of wires and I'm still seeing really good progress. (If anyone is interested, I'm in Damon's.)
