Big news~~~~ Trixie was bracketed three weeks ago! And she has been on the move ever since!

Right now a wire lig is keeping her attached to the spring and arch wire. Hopefully next Tuesday when I go back in they will be able to attach it directly to the arch wire. At this rate I may be out of these braces in 12 months!

Day One

Today

I am so excited about this progress. It still amazes me that a couple weeks can go by and seems like nothing moves, then i have my ligs changed and my teeth have moved into place literally overnight!

great to see the progress sbebs. I have a wayward tooth, although not quite so wayward as trixie was and the ortho has spoken of putting in a spring on the last 2 visits to move things along a little faster. seeing your progress has enthused me to have the spring put on.

Question for you, did the spring bother your top lip at all?

Thanks for the encouragement Sash Mego and Kiwi!

I just had Trixie put on the arch wire. Very exciting day! Hopefully it pulls into place as fast as it pulled in behind the others.

Hey, hey Trixie, it's about time you showed up!

You're really seeing great progress, Shannah ... how is your lower arch coming along?

Lowers are doing quite well they have gone from crooked - to straight across - to the arch they have now in a short period of time. just a little bit more arching and they should be done :0) Thanks for asking MissDiana

BIG NEWS! Looks like I could be out of these braces in 2 months!

Its hard to tell which tooth is Trixie, now that she has joined the rest of the group. Just some minor adjustments and I should be good to go.

Looking great! I bet it's nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully you'll be brace-free soon. Keep up the good work!
