How soon have you noticed movement with braces??
I have had my brace on for under 2 weeks, but I am already convinced that I can see some movement in my teeth!! I may be imagining it! However, out of interest, I was wondering how quickly everyone else saw some movement once braces were put on??

Re: How soon have you noticed movement with braces??
I've had my braces just over 2 weeks and I have definitely already seen movement, I wasn't expecting too though as I've literally only just started. I took before pictures and pictures at the 2 week mark to compare, and my 1st premolars have moved a tiny bit. The pics are in my story/blog, but I'm probably able to see it more so than anyone else though.
Braces: Metal fixed upper and lower
Estimated treatment time: 18-24 months
Braces Removed: August 2013 (after 33 months in braces)
Retainers: Upper & lower essix and lower bonded

I noticed flosing between 2 teeth at around the 2 weeks mark much more easier & then at 3 weeks I had a gap appear. The tooth my ortho was trying to pull had moved.
The other 1 his trying to pull doesn't seem to have moved yet though - although I think it's very slightly easier to floss, not much though hmmm

My first sign of movement was at the 4 week mark. Big enough changes to see at a glance in the mirror.

Hi,
I'm 1+ weeks in and I have a tiny black dot and mini gap appearing (dreaded black triangle t come no doubt lol) so although it doesn't look as though things are, they must be

I started noticing lots of movement at about 4 weeks or so. my two front teeth seemed to have straightened out immediately! it is such a exciting experience when theyre 1st put on, to see if all the pain & money has been worth it! and it definitely is

Yep same here. Big difference 3 months into this process. My entire facial profile has changed because of this which is pretty cool. Amazing just how different you can look with your teeth properly aligned when you talk and smile. Should have done this years ago.
Re: How soon have you noticed movement with braces??
Really? I noticed some movement after the second or third day, and within a month my "snaggletooth" had almost completely realigned its self... But all this early encouragement was kind of misleading, as the rest of my treatment (closing gaps, centering midline) has been been so extremely slow.
