I'm 6 months in!

Lots of changes.

Today, I got stainless archwires (at least one of them is a reverse curve, I heard her say but I can't remember the specifics), rubber bands, and powerchains that go across pretty much all the way. Holy hannah, my teeth hurt. It's like my first day in braces all over again, minus the chewed up cheeks.

I still have very large gaps between my lateral incisors and my canines, but I think they left those for when they start pulling back my overjet? Which I believe is starting now, so I'm very excited. :jump:

Lots of good progress, Furious George. I'm sure that is making you happy! Your teeth look lovely, by the way. They will look just terrific once you are all finished!
