6 Months Later -- I have a bottom arch!!
Wow, I've been waiting for this day for a while -- I have an actual, honest-to-goodness bottom arch!

We're still trying to go after Wonky Tooth (just had a super-duper strength spring installed last week), but all in good time.

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...

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.
