16 week update (PICS)

#1 Post by kennyandrew85 »

Hi all, pics showing progress of 16 weeks (you need to log in to see them), (2nd adjustment) looking better every morning at the moment! got a slight gap opening up from my last adjustment where i had twisted wires attached to my canines to pull them back to make room, those have been removed with a thicker wire placed to fill up the new room.

Really pleased so far, every adjustment I get a day or so of slight pain but only if you bite into anything like a hard baguette etc
You'll have to excuse the ipad camera, i'm not that purple, nor are my teeth that white! (although I'll definitely be getting some whitening done, only 20 months to go..!!!!)

WoW this is just AMAZING! Are you almost done? :lol:
Would you mind me asking if you have had extractions done?
And also on the pre-treatment pics it looks like you had kind of a slanted jaw? Or is it just an impression?
Had full mouth metal braces for 21 months. Debonded April 2013. Now wearing clear plastic retainers every other night.

Thanks for the comments, nah my jaw is fine just my teeth were that bad! The bottom was bad too with teeth overlapping, I've got a long way to go, 2 years in total! I did have extractions yep, 4 of them all premolars. I think I had 2 extractions just before the first pic so my lip is kind of throbbing making my jaw look squint lol

It's interesting how you had 4 teeth extracted and still, your upper arch looks so much wider now - as if you have added the teeth and not extracted them :mrgreen:
Congrats on your progress! 8)

Haha thanks, I think my teeth were all hiding behind each other! I still have gaps to close but I don't think my smile will get any thinner, I was worried about my face being a worse shape after extractions but seems to have improved so far :-)
