Hi jenfire

I've just read through your story. You're doing very well. I also have a hidden lateral on the bottom which isn't connected yet, I have a spring between the two teeth in front of it. It's hard to imagine it ever being connected but looking at your story I can see that great things can happen. You must be really pleased with your progress.

Regards
Joney

Amazing how much your tooth moved in just a couple of weeks! Glad to see it join the party.

Hope it continues.

Looking fantastic Jenfire.

Thanks, all! I'm actually looking forward to my next adjustment (on the 19th)...It will have been 8 weeks this time. I can't wait to get alignment done so I can begin the next phase of perfecting my teeth/bite.

Until then....

Had another adjustment yesterday. They were all very impressed with the movement I've experienced. I got ride of the wire lacing on the bottom. My mouth hurts a bit still.
The bottom teeth still need a bit more straightening.

Great progress, jen! Glad to hear your ortho was excited about your progress, isn't that a great feeling? I hope your mouth stops hurting soon

Wow! Great progress----I think your teeth wanted to be straight all along. Silly teefers!

Good for you!

Here's to more progress!

My teeth have been aligning. The bite is really off in the front. I wonder when and how they will fix the front bite.

I have an adjustment in a little over a week so hopefully all will go well!

hey Jenfire...Just read through your story...man your progress is amazing. I will be braced next monday and we have something in common I too have a crown on my upper front tooth actually the exact same one as yours. I feel good to know that having a crown wont interfere with progress of having a great smile. Im looking foward to your next update...Keep moving!

I had my adjustment a couple of weeks ago--no big changes. I just got a new wire on top (a little thicker) and kept the same one on the bottom. Lately, I have been really bothered by my braces (I am tired of dealing with them). I think I still have a long ways to go since I now have an open bite in the front. The alignment seems to be coming along--maybe they will give me some elastics soon to pull my teeth together more.

Anyway, here are some of my latest pics.
