Here are some updated pictures. You can hopefully see the rollercoaster is starting to smooth out already. I'm so excited. I hope you all can see a difference too! I go for my first adjustment next tues ....
If you click on "view enitre album" it takes a minute to download, but it really shows the progress.
I checked out your progressive pics. I only hope my teeth line up so fast! You can really see the progress. I keep looking every day to see if mine are changing and they have only been on a week!!
It's all about ME!

Well I went for my first adjustment yesterday and he wasn't able to put a new wire on. He said that the one he has on there is still making progress. I will post new pictures as often as my teeth continue to move!
He tightened a couple ligs yesterday and this morning I could see even more of a change. I'll try to post a new picture today. Hopefully at my next adjustment he can put my bottom braces on!
I wish my saga goes as good as yours. My "fangs" haven't moved a bit!

Private Pilot... I'm sure you fangs will move quickly. It's only been a few days. I'd love to see some pic's, have you posted any yet?
Well if you do, let me know so I can track your progress! Thanks.. Lisa[/i]
I will have a friend take a digital this weekend and try to post it. The left fang hurts today-maybe it is migrating

I bet it's beginning to move! I can't wait to see the pictures. I've been using the warm salt water trick at night. It's supposed to take the pain away and help your teeth move faster. My Ortho suggested it. I swish it between my teeth and spit it out in a different cup. Gross I know, but it seems to be working for me.
Is anyone else using that?
What is the salt water swish-I never heard of it. Is it just 1/2 water and 1/2 salt? Does it really make the teeth move faster? If so, I will be doing one EVERY night! Let me know

My ortho said to take a cup of water as warm as i can stand it and add a couple teaspoons full of salt to it.... It takes the ache away and help things along.. so far so good! Don't swallow it! hahah
