Finally got these pics gathered up. It took me over 5 hours! Holy cow. I am amazed at the changes so far. My smile is much bigger, seems like I have more teeth . The gaps are closing with that powerchain. Even the extraction site gaps closed in a lot, huge difference since my extractions 17 months ago. Even my upper arch is changing drastically! I cant wait till my gap with the powerchain is closed. The would would one space less

My next appointment is in November, getting a lower wire switch,and something else, not sure though. I hope the new archwire its strong so it can close the gaps on my lowers. I dont want to endure powerchains there I have no idea when elastics come into play. I even noticed that my bite on the right side is changing:)

Wohoo for the first 8 months of treatment, 10 more months to go!

lol victor36, I did not realise that we were both on 8 months How much longer do you have? I have 10 more.

[victor36]

Ditto, kiddo! My treatment time is also 18 months.

[chillin-in-grilz]

hahahaha thats awesome, whats your date? Im January 29th

[victor36]

At first when you asked "what's your date" I thought you were asking what date are the braces gettin removed HAHA! Then I thought "If she is getting her braces removed in January then she'll only have braces for 1 year not 18 months like she said." LOL Then I realized you meant Brace-Day... Mine is February 6th

[chillin-in-grilz]

lol so I am technically a month before you

[victor36]

Actually, you're 8 days ahead of me

[chillin-in-grilz]

lol, I was actually supposed to be getting them on on Feb 8th, but there was an opening a week ealier.

[victor36]

Well that's cool, getting a head start on Project: Million Dollar Smile is always a good thing

[chillin-in-grilz]

Ya, I was happy to start early, even if it was only a week. I wanted braces since I was 14.

I find your teeth animations are amazing! I wish I can do that.
