Today I've been braced for 1 year!! Wow, it's kinda hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday I was starting out and....here I am at a year already. Here are some comparison pics:
Day 1 ->->->->->->->->->->->->1 year
I am now in a powerchain on top (had IPR done between some teeth) and elastics at night. I still have 10 months of my sentence left and starting working on my bite issues a week ago. What do you all think? I'm so excited to have reached the 1 year march but really hoping I won't make it to 2!! lol
Thanks !
Keep smilin'!

Braced for 18 months: Damon 3mx all around with Damon 3's on "social six". Now is Essix retainers for 10 hours/night.
Absolutely fabulous movement, your teeth are looking really great. I'm so jealous of your fast progress, I'm at the 1year 6month + mark and my stubborn teeth still haven't moved nearly as much as yours.
Congrats and good luck with your bite getting sorted as efficiently!
Jenny, your arches look amazing. You sound happy with the results so far. Things are looking good and you only have 10 more months to go....I am so jealous
I am very pleased with my movement. It's funny how day-to-day or week-to-week it gets a little tedious; looking for movement but trying not to loose patience. BUT overall it's amazing the transformation that's taking place. I'm so glad I finally decided to get braces and I'm excited to see the final results.
Thanks again all!!
Keep smilin'!
