How long does it take to see noticable changes?
Its been 3 weeks and 1 day since being braced. I was just comparing phots, and I dont see much change yet
which begs the question: are these things really going to work!?!?!?!
I read somewhere that you notice changes between 2 and 6 weeks....I know everyone is differnt, but I would like to hear people experience with this....
ok ok maybe im being impatient......
I hope to get some pics up soon.
thanks!

I thought I saw a minute change after about 2 weeks, and after another week or two I could tell I wasn't just seeing things.
Good luck

I think teeth like to move if they a free to move. Some teeth are sort of locked, they can't move before the teeth next/on the top has moved.
I have one bracket pulling one teeth to arch. There is two teeth tipping over it. That teeth really hurts. Poor tooth, just pulled forward even though it can't move

ME TOO????
I was just wondering the same question! I have been braced on tops only for 2 weeks and after 10 days realized my bite has changed. I am concerned though because the ortho told me that the tops needed to move right and from the bite it seems to have all gone left. URGH! There is so much stress at the beginning. I bet by the time we get them off we will be pros too!

I have been braced for 5 weeks now and at last I can see movement!
I first noticed last week that I had several teeth that have gaps between them, now I have another couple of gaps - the teeth no longer touch and I can use an interdental brush between them. I am really excited and even more positive now.

wires
Does anyone know if that wire movement happens before or after the teeth become loose feeling.
Thanks,
