Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some of my progress pictures... I am thrilled with it so far! (Sorry for the links, I am picture-posting challenged)

Upper arch one week in (with appliance, ugggh)

I am supposed to be done no later than Oct. 2006, but I am hoping (like we all are) for sooner!

Congratulations on your awesome progress ABI!

That is inspiration especially for such a short amount of time! I hope I get progress like that soon!

I hope I only have to wear my T-Bar for 6 months.... but I doubt I'll be that fortunate. It's been almost 3 months now... and except for <1 mm of space in 4 places beside extractions... I haven't seen any progress.

Sweet progress with yours though ABI.... I bet you're pretty excited to see things moving nicely!

Wow!

I am very encouraged by those, because like me it looks as though your lower teeth were originally quite crowded, but you don't seem to have had extractions (also like me).

I'm currently a bit worried about how my lower teeth will find enough space to "get in line", but yours seem to have done it beautifully!

Thank you all so much for the kind words!

No, I didn't have any extractions (except for my wisdom teeth but those were done a few years ago).

I am not sure when I will actually get them off, but at my last appointment my ortho said I was "ahead of schedule" so we'll see. I would LOVE to get them off by June b/c that's also when I am graduating from college! I think that would make a very nice gift!
