Cynthia1251--I'll try to get a photo and post it after my first adjustment next week. But, my teeth are similar to yours (though worse I think) and my front teeth are also almost perfectly straight after a month...i had teeth removed so of the six now in the front, 5 are in place. IT'S AWESOME!
four bicuspids removed 1/3/06
clear uppers and metal lowers placed 1/5/06
timeframe for braces: 24-30 months
braceface1230- I have to get my lowers on as well. I'm not sure as to when, but i go in for my first adjustment on Monday so i guess i'll get them then!
Aine- My ortho said that i'll only be braced for 14 months. With such good progress, i could only hope for sooner.
Everyone else who posted- Thanks for the encouragement, and kind words! I can't wait to see what's in store for the future!
We'll keep our fingers crossed for getting your bottoms done on Monday. It's hard to tell from the pics, but you'r bottoms don't look all that bad at all. So I'm sure they'll line up real nice, in no time at all. Good luck.
