I would love to see someone's progress who has the same or similar issue. I have big gap in the front of my upper teeth. There are a few other minor spaces on the lower teeth but the primary reason to get braces for me, is to have the front gap closed. Please reply with a link to your braces story and pics, thanks!!

I'm getting braced Monday April 14th and need a little bit of encouragement!!

I did, and it closed VERY quickly.

See my www link

yeah, i think the front two usually close first. mine did too and the ones on the side started to join the party too; like pixel witch's

dont worry about it!

Hey Pixel WitchM
how lone have u had the lower lingual arch on for? (if u still have it on) btw, great progress! I just got braced and have a totally different issue so I'm in it for the long run...30 months and counting...=)

I have a gap in front, but it is not between my two front middle teeth. My ortho has actually CREATED it so the tooth could be built up. It has caused me a lot of insecurities because of the gap... ur...

Hi spacey! My primary reason for getting braces is to close the gap in my front teeth as well. My ortho isn't closing it right away though. He wants to get everything else all lined up right and then close it. He said it will be within 6 months. Can't wait!!

Thanks so much for the responses!!

Pixel:oh my goodness!! You were braced June 7th and your space is closed by July 19th! WOW! That gives me so much hope!

michelle005: I'll keep an eye on your progress since your brace day isn't too far ahead of mine!
