Hey, your progress is definently noticeable. Congrats!

I was also wondering how in the world you got a white archwre? That looks so kool. Maybe my ortho is just behind on the times or something but I've never seen a colored one before.

I can see that the wire between your second tooth and your canine is not as angled in the later pictures. This means the braces are working and you are seeing progress!

thanks.
About the white archwire, it's a normal steel one covered with teflon, they sold it as a "white wire" but it fact it is not white, as the time goes by you will notice it looses the teflon layer,and it changes the color from nuclear white to yellow after a few weeks. The next archwire for me will be steel, I hope, I told my ortho it does not mind for me and he said steel archwires are better.

many thanks 'cause the progress is sometimes not so evident for me
Regards
