Your upper wire is definitely straightening out.

I'm sorry I haven't been on in forever!
So I haven't been posting on this site in forever.. but still reading about others.. yet i feel very guilty! So i just wanted to catch up and say hi... In brief.. I just had my first year in braces (anniversary). I have had many elastics.. i have been living in powerchains for as long as i remember.. i have had extra molar bands added to teeth that originally didnt have any (that was not fun), I have lost brackets... and now im going in for my what.. 11th adjustment next week. So i have a quick questions.. my ortho said that he needed to schedule a longer than typical appointment for me because he is gunna change my bottom wire to a larger stainless steel wire. Now any time i have had to go in for 'longer than usual' i usually leave in pain. He said he needs to 'level' my bottom teeth. Has anyone had this experience? Please help. I will post pictures in just a little bit - everyone says my teeth are perfect now and i should be out of braces really quick.. i say NO WAY!.. still needs tweaking!
