Although initially disappointed that I wasn't seeing any movement in my lower arch, I decided to compare my pictures from 3 weeks braced vs. 17 weeks braced. Needless to say, it was encouraging!

3 Weeks in:

17 Weeks in:

They can't go after Wonky Tooth (yeah, you know which one THAT is!) until my arch is finally in position, so it'll be at least another month before I can even get a spring. Let's just hope it decides to move into place quickly -- my orthognathic surgery is supposed to be in May!

Wow Kodius Champion

They are really great comparison pics. I can't wait until there is enough room for my lower hidden incisor to get onto the archwire. I am still at the early spring stage. Your teeth are looking great. Previously you said that we might be tooth twins, in which case we are not identical twins, you teeth are definitely the better looking of the twins.

Thanks guys, I think so too. It makes this whole business seem worthwhile after all!

... your teeth are definitely the better looking of the twins.

Heh, and to think I've always considered myself the ugly one!

Nice, drazda!

Roughly how long did it take to get from wonky to in-line?

That is really AWESOME progress! You must be so excited to look at those pictures and see what progress you've made in a short amount of time. YEAH!

WOW, great progress, looking good!!!!! I've got sort of a wonky tooth, it was bracketed a week after my first brackets and wires were put on. There is a time for everything and soon you'll have that wonky tooth being forced into submission! Good luck!

It didn't take long, Kodius. I wore a spring for 2 months, then my wonky tooth was bracketed and was in place in less than 2 months.
