And it took such a short time?
Awwww shuuccckkkkksss.... 
Trust me- I was a big whiner at first. I looked and looked for ANY movement and saw none. Then it was like *POOF* and suddenly things looked much straighter. At each adjustment there would be some pain but the pleasure of movement MORE than made up for it!!
If at all possible please give it a try. Post somewhere here everyday or several times a day. We'll leave the light on for ya!
PS: Here's a thread that was going on when I got mine on... kinda funny to read after time: viewtopic.php?p=35837&highlight=#35837

First thing I have to say, man: that's a sweet pipe.
Second thing: I remember when I first got my braces on my ortho told me, "Yeah, your face will change a bit once these braces are on - your goatee does a good job of hiding it now." I thought I had a pretty well-shaped face, but I can see now what he was talking about, it looks even better now, and my tooth problems weren't as serious as yours!
Looks like the shape of your face is changing - what did your ortho say about that? Were you anticipating such a change?
Keep on keepin' on.

Heh- thanks! I'm not a smoker, but I play one on TV...Laserjock wrote: First thing I have to say, man: that's a sweet pipe.
I knew there would be some changes but my ortho never really talked about it. We did talk about my jaw fitting/working a little better in general. And seeing as how the techs at the ortho's office usually make me put one of those Elephant Man sacks over my head when I go in for adjustments any change would be welcome...Second thing: I remember when I first got my braces on my ortho told me, "Yeah, your face will change a bit once these braces are on - your goatee does a good job of hiding it now."

Will do! Love your icon pic btw. And of course I only wear a goatee (actually a VanDyke) to make people think I'm my evil twin from the Mirror universe.Keep on keepin' on.

Wow, Greencapt that's awesome. Compared to when you started it looks like your braces are ready to come off (you wish, huh?) I kinda wish my teeth were as crowded as yours when I started (no offense) cuz I'm feeling discouraged about not seeing any huge changes lately. I'm in the middle of closing upper premolar extraction gaps so maybe when that's done after the first of the year my overjet can be reduced and I'll feel like something is happening. Congrats. You should be super excited. Best wishes on the baby, too. Start saving for his or her ortho bills!
