Just a quick update on teeth, its now been over two months since having braces and i have had some amazing changes, though i want to time to whiz by so i can get them off already I am so excited to get a new top wire as mine is now VERY chipped, sick of looking like a zebra, my next appointments on the 2nd of October, that day could not come faster!! i post more on my insta which is clear_braces92 would love for some people to follow as i love watching peoples progress!!

Only 2 months! Amazing progress!

I know right!! I am pretty surprised with the results I'm getting, though things have slowed down a little ( i'm at the end of my first wire) i am still happy with the progress, i still have apparently about 13 Months to go! but who knows!! I am hoping for a shorter sentence

That is amazing progress! I know you are thrilled. I'm at 4 weeks out, and comparing my photos, only a tiny change in the bottom (one tooth that was low has come up a bit). Top arch still looks exactly the same. Sigh...but I am older (56), and my understanding is that teeth move a lot slower when we are older.

It will happen, Its hard when you just want to see change, you will compare images at some point and see the changes you didn't think were happening! I didn't think mine would move as fast, i'm in my mid-late 20s and i have not seen much change in my bottom teeth at all really! just the top, but i think more the top as they were well out of whack! Have you got photos of yours?! would LOVE to see!!

Thanks for the encouragement, Amy! I am sure changes will happen; I am just being impatient. You can see links to a couple of photos (day 1 and day 28) in this post: http://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/viewtop ... 03#p497603.

Sorry, I can't get my pictures to post inline, only the links.
