No Movement!

#17 Post by Kourtney Kitty »

Maybe it's just me but, I dont feel like anything is moving in my mouth. I noticed my bite was a little different and a tooth has rotated even though it didnt need to. Now its actually out of line. All of this movement happened in the first 10 days and I havent really felt anything since then. I dont feel or any extra wire hanging out. Is this how things normally are or am I just overly paranoid?

I'll take some pics in a sec so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

Hey! Everyone's movement is different. I remember not being able to see any movement the first few weeks but I knew something was hapenning because the wire was poking and cutting my cheeks.

The fact that you feel your bite change is good...that means there is something happening. Really, don't worry too much about not getting any movement...teeth move slow and even though you might not feel like they are moving...they are.

Also, from your pictures, your teeth look pretty good already so this might be another reason why you don't see change...It's easier to notice teeth moving when they are very crooked or someting very obvious...but its harder to notice movement when teeth are already pretty good looking.

Remember, things can get worse before getting better...so that tooth moving into a position that seems wrong...it has to move in order for other teeth to move...

Good luck with your progress, and keep us posted :)

Adjustment #1

#19 Post by Kourtney Kitty »

Today was my first adjustment! My ortho added 2 new brackets on my bottom molars. I was wondering why he didn't put any there the first time.
I can see alot of movement in my teeth over the last six weeks and hopefully you can too.

Here are some pics...
