Thanks for the responses Breal87 and Meryaten. I'ts good to see that others think there has been some improvement since the elastics.

Meryate- That's interesting, i thought it was neccessary for the bracket to be repositioned if a large amount of movement was desired. I hope he tries to bend the wire a bit on my next appt in that case. The thing is, he has never ever put a bend in the archwire (well not a noticable one), so maybe this is not his style.

I have decided not to write a letter and just be assertive on my next appointment. The thing is he'll be taking off my bottoms on that appt. I've decided i will mention IRP and i will also state that i want the following:

-The left lateral and inscisor to become more rounded.
- The inscisor to be moved lower down in the gumline to mirror the right inscisor and the lateral to be moved into the same position as the right lateral.

Anyone feel there is something else i should raise? Or perhaps articulate it in a better way, using different terminology to make my case a bit clearer.

Cheers.
Newmetal

Here are a couple of pictures from today: Honest opinions please..

it is hard to tell as the pictures are not clear, sorry, what were the original pictures like?
I would just tell him that I'm not happy with the results as I dont think my teeth are as straight as I want them to be. It is your mouth and money!
