Well I've had 2 adjustment since my last entry so I guess I should give a bit of an update...
My first adjustment involved my first wire change (no idea what sizes I've had) and also adding a powerchain to close the gap between my two front teeth. My right front tooth was twisted so once it rotated back the right way, there was quite a big gap between the two. So my ortho puts on the powerchain then tells me to come back in three weeks, or before if the gap closes up sooner. Well...the gap was closed that evening!
I thought I was being too optimistic but by the Monday (3 days later) it was definitely closed. So I called the ortho and moved up my next adjustment by two weeks. I just kept thinking 'they'll be off two weeks sooner now' but I know its probably not that simple. The next adjustment was that Friday. My ortho wanted to give the space created between my two front teeth to my bold pre-molar that's sticking out front so it could slot back in, so I now have a powechain across my whole mouth pulling all my teeth to the right, and a spring between my 1st molar and 1st pre-molar pushing it to the right. I think the plan is to get the tooth into place, then sort out my midline so its not off (at least I hope that's the plan!) 
Then I was told to come back in 4 weeks. I then asked when my uppers will be going on and she said that she'll be engaging my pre-molar fully next time (?! Its currently not attached to the wire) so I could get them on then! It was meant to take 6 months to sort out these lower pre molars so I'm hoping that since she thinks she'll have them sorted in 3, I might be 3 months ahead of schedule! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much though because I know all this takes sooooooo much time. But fingers crossed! 
So now I am getting my uppers on this Friday! I'm really nervous about getting my uppers on - so far you can't really see my lowers unless you're up close and I'm talking a lot, but I'm worried the uppers will be so obvious! I'm getting ceramic uppers on the front 6 teeth and metal on the rest, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad. My main priority is photos - if you can't see them in photos, I won't mind so much because really who's going to remember in detail what my teeth look like!
Now begins the countdown of eating all of my favourite 'staining' foods...curry, beetroot, lots of red wine...
Since then wow - my left front tooth no longer sits on top of my right front tooth, and even my canines have stepped back and look less like fangs, which was what I was the most self-conscious about. So I'm delighted all round!! 
So that was last Friday...most of the ligs on the front 6 on top weren't on fully so they were 'engaged' last week and even since the change is unreal. The bottoms weren't touched but they've been behaving themselves pretty well so that was ok. I dont go back now for 2 months which is my longer between time yet, but my ortho said that by then my teeth should be straightened completely and it should be 'plain sailing' from then on...not sure what that means but it sounds good to me! So now I'm just sitting back and watching my teeth all line up. I'll put some pics up later...actually really proud to show them off and see what people think!
Ugh i just want to be done and I have at least another full year to go!
I left then and it didn't really sink in until I sat in the car...in 4-6 months time I might be debraced! 
I still don't really believe it!
