Your smile is looking so beautiful! :D One thing I did notice is that your midline seems to be off a bit, which can take awhile to move (well it did for me, anyway). After that, usually your ortho will keep your braces on for awhile to make sure the roots, that move after the teeth, are in place and secure. Good luck and have fun :D

Betharoo:

I've heard orthodontics is like bodybuilding; it uses the law of diminishing returns. That means that at the beginning is when you'll see the biggest changes and then things start to taper off. That's why the latter 75% of your treatment may not be as exciting as the first 6 months.
