Hi Sksk11,

Your teeth are looking great.
It's so nice to see how your gaps have closed so far. Sometimes I look at mine and just can't see how my teeth can really move and fill up those massive gaps so it's nice to see what happens.

:lol: rach :lol:

woah somebody's gotta an arch going :)
Your upper arch has transformed so much is such little time!
I guess its things like this that keep you motivated. I have a lateral, infact two of them that are too cool to join the party at the moment. !

I just wrote a huge entry detailing all that I have had done since my last post, and then accidently deleted it all :twisted: arrrgghhhh

So I will quickly put the photos up here, and endeavour to update properly tomorrow! These photos are from August 2008 (Brace day) to June 2009. I have had another adjustment today, and will take photos of my new additions tomorrow.


ImageImage
Smile (the ligs are really stained here, and for some reason the glue on my brackets is really yellowed - I avoid the staining foods where possible, but I do drink tea on a daily basis. My ortho said he's surprised the glue has stained so badly, it makes my teeth look really yellow)



ImageImage
Uppers (note the very small extraction gap on left of photo) - the last molars have come into line nicely.


ImageImage
Lowers


ImageImage
Lowers - the powerchain worked well on the gaps!


ImageImage
These pictures and the ones below show the changes in my bite, and the open bite I have between most of my teeth


ImageImage
(Biting down as much as I can)


ImageImage
My upper molar brackets - the wire was at quite an angle at first, but had straightened out a lot.


Will add more tomorrow.

SK :-1
