Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi All,
I got my braces on 28 days ago today. I thought since I hadn't posted any pictures yet, today would be a good day to show you my progress. I'm really excited to see that my lateral incisors are coming down to by in line with my central incisors. They used to overlap my canines a bit.

I'm excited to get my bottom braces on, but I won't be getting them until my bite improves. My bottom teeth were the original reason why I got braces because the top of my first premolar is facing my second premolar. It's nice to see the changes in my top front teeth

To anybody debating getting braces, do it if you can. You see so much change in your teeth in only 1 month.

Enjoy,

Nice progress!! That wire looks a helluva lot straighter! Its when we see this much progress that we know we made the right decisions in getting braces- Good for you!

Your progress in just one month is remarkable!

Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited. Maybe I won't have to have them on for 22 months...maybe lol

WOW! That's really quick progress, I'm sure you're very pleased with the results!

Wow!!! You have had so much progress in so little time. That is GREAT!!!!

That's awesome progress!!

I hope I have that much movement in a month! I really don't want to do the full 18 months...

hey I'm jealous, I've had mine on almost 3 weeks and they haven't budged. Yours look terrific! Very inspiring, I bet you won't need them on long at all.

Thanks for the support everyone. Hopefully it won't be long before they start to move for you Braceface46. I'm thinking that I may still have to go the full 22 months though because I'm waiting to get my bottom braces on until my bite improves enough that I don't bite down on the bottom brackets. Plus, most of my first premolar (on the bottom) is still under the gum and it's sideways, so that's going to take some time to move once I do get the bottom brackets. But, I can dream

I've just got my lingual braces on 5 days ago and I wish I have progress by the end of the month!!

You look great! How nice to see so much movement!

Mine haven't moved much in the past month either. Someone reassured me that right now I'm in the training bra of archwires though, so I'm holding out hope for more progress after the next adjustment.

Wow, great progress already

I have my first adjustment late next week, hope I've had progress and can go up to a 0.14 wire

I can't see it yet because I'm too new, but yay for progress! I'm hoping and praying for quick progress myself!

Wow great improvement!
