i went in last week for an adjustment. I have been out of town thats why the late update. At anyrate. I was all ready for a really tough adjustment and the ortho only changed my powerchains and sent me on my way so right there was a great moment to begin with because i was expecting a new wire and elastics. after he finished with my almost none event adjustment. he was checking out my teeth and said how would you feel about another 12 months instead of 24 . I about jumped up and gave him a hug. My original estimate was for 34-36 months so being finished in 24 months would be great. I am not holding my breath though but if its true then I am 1/2 way there. HAppy dance !!!
