Thanks all. I also found my digital camera so I will take photos either tonight or tomorrow when the sun is out and post them some time in the next day or two!

Nice pics!
What are the blue things between each teeth? Are they special archwires?
Also, how much longer do u have to go?
I'm thinking I will get elastics; when did you get your first ones?
The blue looks like power chains. I never got to get colored power chains. Mine were clear . I guess since I have Damons I didn't get to choose, it was assumed that I would want clear. NOT. Oh well.

What are the blue things between each teeth? Well its actually not blue its supposed to be a metallic green which is my current powerchain colors I have on now. How much longer do you have to go? Well if I figure it out right I have another year and 1 month left! I was quoted for 18-20 months! I got my first elastics at my last adjustment don't remember what day exactly as I don't know what I did with my calender but I know it was on the day I got my metallic green powerchains about 2 weeks or so ago.

Just saw Karen's post yes it all depends on if your ortho is going to use elastics in your treatment. As Karen stated some people get them the first day, some get them months later and some get them towards the end of treatment and others are lucky they don't get them at all. Elastics in my case are being used to help my midline, gaps and a slight overbite I guess thats what was said. I know definantly my midline and gaps!
