Wow, I've been waiting for this day for a while -- I have an actual, honest-to-goodness bottom arch!
6 months ago:
Now:
We're still trying to go after Wonky Tooth (just had a super-duper strength spring installed last week), but all in good time.

Holy cow! there is hope for me then?
... Congrats on the movement; tha tis way too cool.
When did they wire up that tooth that had the bracket that was not wired at first? I have a tooth like that that as well and wondering...
Do you have a better pic of the springs? I think I will definitely need those as well...

Well done Kodius, great progress. Can't wait until I'm in this position, I'm getting there but still a way to go. Here's to the wonky tooth joining the party soon.

After 12 weeks (from the beginning) -- not wired up 100%, but at least a lig over the bracket.

Here's the front spring I got after 6 weeks:
And here it is at 12 weeks (just before it came off):

I'm jealous. It has been 4 and a half months for me now, and I can't tell much progress. It's sort of one step forward, one step back. The minute the springs came off the spaces for the rotated teeth closed in. I'm guessing it's back to springs next visit.
