Hi All
Been braced since March 9 and as I've just worked out how to post a pic (took a while...!) I thought I'd let you see my progress so far...
Taken on Brace Day...
Taken March 31st!
What do you think??? I'm quite chuffed (not least because I can now post photos!)
My lower archwire has snapped once and bent 3 times and my cheeks are sore but improving. And I don't know how I'd survive without my Waterpik! But all things considered I'm doing all right.
Can't give up red wine though...just drink through a straw...!

I'd say there has been plenty of movement. I'd be happy if I were you too!! I'm a little over 3 weeks in and don't see any visible progress at all. But I know it will come..eventually! Glad you posted your pics, gives me a boost of positive hope and energy.

I agree with everyone else. Especially your lower teeth have aligned very nicely for only 4 weeks!!

That is truly amazing!
My tooth kinda is like yours on the top right (your right) it is sunken in and that gives me alot of hope for when I get my braces next week. I hope I have that fast of progress

Thanks everyone...I'm glad it's not just me who can see my progress! My dentist (not my ortho) told me to take a photo every week to look back on and that's what I'm doing. I never would have believed things could happen so fast otherwise 
It makes all the cheek shredding and porridge eating worth while!

Nice, i'm a little jealous. i'm working on week 5 and have not noticed anything.
I go in on monday for first full adjustment. I was going to take pics after every adjustment ( first one this monday ) but maybe i'll do the every week thing. Would be interesting to try and take the pics in the exact same pose every time. Than make a picture slide show, you could see the progress over a couple of years in a short time.
Congrats again !!!!!

You're a fast mover; congrats!
Five weeks here and no visible movement, but I know my teeth have moved somewhat as it feels that way.
