Today is 3 weeks in upper braces for me. I took some pictures and compared them with the ones my ortho took on my consultation. I was really surprised at how much progress there has been---makes it all worthwhile to see such fast results!

Wow that's incredible, you'll be done in another 3 weeks!!

You have made a lot of progress very quickly!

Are those Damon brackets? I have the same ones (if that's what you've got!) and I can't wait until I start seeing noticeable movement like that! Although I'm only on day 5 so I have a bit of waiting to do lol

Yes, these are Damon brackets. Cool, you'll have to post pictures of yours too. It's so weird because one day I'll have pressure on just one tooth. A few days later it's another tooth, and so on and so on. It's like my teeth are communicating with each other, "My turn today!" "Ok, great, now it's my turn!". I really wasn't expecting that much of a change so quickly. It's very exciting!

I posted pics under "Finally braced! Progress pics included". I'm not sure how to add a link to my signature like other people have. I've had quite a bit of pressure on most of my teeth...can't chew much and can't bite into stuff, which is so frustrating! I'm definitely looking forward to when I can eat properly...I enjoy food!

Great progress in your first 3 weeks. Feels great doesn't it!

Wow that's incredible, you'll be done in another 3 weeks!!

Oh that made me laugh!!! I wish!!!
