I've been in braces for 6 weeks and went back to my ortho on Monday (two weeks after 1st adjustment) to change the clear ligs for hot pink ones as they were beginning to stain and I thought they would look awful by the time I had my next appointment in January
Anyhoo, he measured my overjet and it's been reduced from 14mm to 10mm already
I'm so happy, especially as I didn't think much was happening. These elastics might be a nuisance but they sure work!
Just thought I'd share, I must remember to take some pics

That's great news!!
Can't believe you're in elastics already. I thought that happened mid treatment or towards the end. But then i'm new to all this so i'm probs wrong

Wow that's great news!
It's encouraging to hear things like this as I will be wearing elastics at some point too to reduce an overjet.

Thank you all
lu lu, I used to think the same. Maybe it's because my overjet it so big and my ortho wants to see what he can do without taking any teeth out first? I may well need a couple out later on but it's nice to know that he's trying it this way first.
