hi- i am not too far behind you- i hit 7 month in 10 days, but you look about done, dude!
What was your estimated time? what does the ortho say?
feeling a little envy here
Wore Top & Bottom traditional metal brackets, wore elastics both sides 24/7
Brace day: Oct 4 2011 / Sentence: 18 months - DONE in 16 months My story + progress pix
Thanks for the compliments guys.....my est time on my chart is 23 months.....I don't know if that is my ACTUAL treatment time or my payment time. But my upper canines need to come down and my bottom teeth still need to come inward more...I have an appointment on Thursday, so we will see where I am at.
Hi Cory, I'm new to this sight, so wondering if you have posted your before photos. I'd say at the 7 month mark, you are seeing the rewards of your investment. You are going to have an amazing smile when all is "spent" and done. Congrat's!
Just had my appointment. Had my lower power chain removed and a new rectangular archiwre on top. My next appointment will be for debonding a couple of brackets to be repositioned..other than that, the ortho says everything looks stable and is moving right along.
