Ecstatic that one month in I am already seeing some progress. Not happy about the new gap that opened up but oh well. It's all gong to close at some point in my treatment. My next appointment is at the end of September. That will be my first adjustment.
The gap shouldn't be a big deal - it looks like your teeth are moving closer to their correct midline so they both need to move to do that. Looks like great progress to me.
What amazing progress! Do not worry about the gap. It will close over time. I had crazy gaps all over the place, finally they are closed. Keep us posted!
Great progress so far blackapple! It must feel real good being able to notice a difference in such a short space of time.

Wow! That is a lot of progress for one month! Isn't it just the greatest morale booster to see side-by-side pics? I really like your clear brackets on the top.
