Overlapped fronts....
Has anyone started out with the top front two teeth slightly overlapped? If so how long until they straightened?

Sbebs,
I started with them overlapping as well. While they have straightened out quite a lot, they still are overlapping a tiny tiny bit after all this time. I'm wondering if my ortho will leave them as they are. At my next appointment I will ask him because I want them to be apart completely and I reckon the brackets should be on at a different angle
It's hard to tell from a distance. You might see from my avatar but it's slightly more obvious when looking up the arch.

Mine were worse than yours and after the first month I noticed a big change. The one tooth was no longer overlapping the next tooth. It is still not completely straight but a BIG improvement. Now into the third month and there is a small gap between the front teeth that I hope goes away. As they say often on this forum things sometimes get worse before they get better!
Hey Sbebs!
Wow, my teeth looked alot like yours. I just had my second adjustment and am just beginning to really notice a change. My top 2 teeth are still overlapped but not as much. Keep us posted. Change really will come - I guess we just have to be patient!!
My front teeth were severely overlapped . At least I thought so. It took about 3 months for them to be side by side That was one of the main things I wanted changed.
Below is a total of 6.5 months later
Below was 3months .This is when my front teeth finally moved completely
Congrats on getting braced. Your teeth will make beautiful progress sooner than you think.

My front teeth were always overlapped. One of them had to be removed and now i am wearing braces to correct this exact problem. I need an implant for my front #9 but need to open up space for it first.
I have a spring going across the space of that tooth to push the space open. Ive had braces for 5 days now, but ill let you know how it comes along.

Wow thanks for everyone responses - especially the pics!
I have great news. In just a week my fronts are no longer overlapped! They still need a little work to be lined up but my ortho and I are greatly impressed.
