usually you can see something after ~1 month

LOL! I know exactly how you feel. I just got my braces last Monday and have been watching for signs of movement ever since.

I really need to just relax and wait, but I'm finding that very difficult!

I'm already looking forward with anticipation to my first adjustment next month. I won't feel like I'm really in the trenches with these things until then, I guess. I'm hoping by Christmas that I'll really be seeing some progress. I sure hope I'm right!

Take pictures! It's easier to notice differences when you compare two photos.

I am one month in and have already seen some changes which is exciting!

Try taking photos every month and it'll be so easy to notice the changes.

i've been avoiding photos so far, but i guess i should just do it...

Photos are a fun way to watch progress. I have a folder in my pictures that is a running timeline of my treatment so far. I find it very motivating and quite a morale booster.

I've had a brace on my lower teeth for 39 days now....and I've had very visible movement! One of my canine teeth has visibly moved a little forward, the gap from my extraced tooth has decreased considerably and my overlapping, leaning incisors are a bit straighter.... I started noticing movement during the first couple of weeks!
