Closing Loop

#1 Post by fins »

Can anyone tell what might be a normal timeframe for having a closing loop? Is one year considered a long time?

It seems like I had mine for 3-4 months :shock: I hated those things. You are talking about the snoopy looking loops on the archwires right?

Those things closed my gaps quick.

I have no idea myself as I just got one on July 8. It is funny as my Ortho is the one who created the space as she put a powerchain on the canine and pulled it back. I guess until the gap closes :-)...
