Your pictures and progress are encouraging. I am in the beginning stages of my treatment and still wearing an appliance to create space between my molars prior to having braces installed. I am at least 2 months away from braces but I've worn this appliance for 6 months. I often get impatient but I understand that these things are done in stages and not all at once. I'm very happy for your progress and it's exciting for me to see differences so quickly. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for all your responses. I'm happy to share my progress and hope all you guys have a great experience in braces. I know there may still be some things in my treatment plan that might not be all that comfortable, but the good news is that I am halfway there. I will admit the first couple of months prior to and getting my braces on were pretty rough, but these last few months have been a breeze, thank goodness. And for all you guys out there starting out, I'm sure you have asked yourself if it is all worth it and believe me it is! You'll will be so happy you went through with it. If I can be of help to any of you, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be back to update again soon, and hope you all are doing well!

Excellent pictures... your wonky tooth on the bottom row is about how wonky mine is at the moment. Ortho is hoping to bracket it next adjustment and bring it into line over the coming months.. Its amazing
