Nothing new here really, I see my ortho again 28 may (3weeks) so another 3 weeks left. I can't see much movement at all to be honest, my teeth feel sensitive and I know braces are there! But wire on top hasn't straightened or changed at all in my opinion. Bottom ones have moved a little beside where I had 2 pulled but not a lot. I feel like I am being impatient but would love to see a difference for encouragement
on the plus side I have broken no brackets, power chains are still intact and they have only gone mildly green due to a few curries 
Will update again when something to report
!!
. Well done you for deciding on braces, it's hard to decide but will be so worth it when done. And it's great seeing and reading other stories on here I think it's very encouraging. I know what you mean re being told of the screws, when he told me I gasped and hands on head, he was surprised by reaction "what's wrong?" He asks.. I say you have just told me you are putting 2 screws in my gums I didn't even know such a thing could be done! Alternative it replaces is wearing headgear 
Ok ok I will have the screws! But anyway I didn't hear much more after that either but now I thinking one step at a time, one day at a time cause the whole thing together can be a bit overwhelming. I have asked elsewhere on here as well and they not that bad generally 
. I have had no reaction to the two brackets on my back teeth which is fantastic, I was very nervous, I get my braces on next Tuesday but I had to have a front bottom tooth removed and believe me it is not a very good look at all 
But I wish i was nearing the end so I could see my straight teeth but don't want to wish my life away either! It's going to fast as it is....can't believe I am 40 
Good luck next week, I will keep a look out for your story
