We're still trying to go after Wonky Tooth (just had a super-duper strength spring installed last week), but all in good time.
Holy cow! there is hope for me then? ... Congrats on the movement; tha tis way too cool.
When did they wire up that tooth that had the bracket that was not wired at first? I have a tooth like that that as well and wondering...
Do you have a better pic of the springs? I think I will definitely need those as well...
Must be some happy feet at your house. Looks great!

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Thanks for praying for me and thinking happy thoughts.
Well done Kodius, great progress. Can't wait until I'm in this position, I'm getting there but still a way to go. Here's to the wonky tooth joining the party soon.

2 Extractions 2nd November 2006
Brace On 10th November 2006
Top brace off 26 June 2008 (19 1/2 months)
I'm jealous. It has been 4 and a half months for me now, and I can't tell much progress. It's sort of one step forward, one step back. The minute the springs came off the spaces for the rotated teeth closed in. I'm guessing it's back to springs next visit.

Spacers, Nov. 1; Braced Nov. 8, 2006; Braces off March 26, 2008, just short of 17 months. Glad it's over but the jury is still out on whether the game was worth the candle.
