Wow, amazing progress, and it's only been just under a year! How long does the final stage last? A few adjustments? =)

Congrats!

i dont know how long will the final stage last, i didnt ask, maybe next time..i think less than 1 year, my ortho said that my treatment worked very well so far

she said that now it all depends of how fast my bite will fix, as you can see from the pictures i posted i have an overjet and some overbite

(for those who don't know what overjet and overbite is)

had an adjustment today, 12th i think

it worked well with the elastics, now i only have to wear the left one 24 hours per day and the right one just at night

i'll post a picture later to see why
cheers

ps. again i didnt have the courage to ask how long my treatment will last

At yesterday's adjustment i didnt have any wire changes, just the elastics

as i remember from the last adj., i now have steel 16x22 wires on both uppers and lowers. i don't know if will ever have another wire change (or will i? what's the thickest size? )

the overjet has been reduce a little (first pic is from may, the second is from today)

hello .. had an adjustment today (13th i think, i lost count)

last time my ohrto said that i only have to wear my left elastic 24/7 and the right one just at night. today she said to get back to 24/7 for both sides ... BUT... here it comes :

she told me that if i wear the elastic as she told me, i'm gonna get debraced in NOVEMBER !!!!!!1 2 months from now!!

until then i gotta have one of my wisdom teeth extracted..

Wow!! Congrats! I remember the first time I told I was going to be de-braced. I was ecstatic! Your teeth look amazing and they moved so fast! Hope my little fellas are as speedy.

thanks..

last night a bracket came loose for the first time, my next adj. is on the 6th of october, don't know if i should wait for that or i should go to get it glued back on

my overjet has been reduced even more (it's about 2-3 mm now, but it doesn't bother me at all, i could live with that)
