1 month of quails, 4 months of foxes and just over 2 months of bears and my overjet has dropped from 12mm to nearly nothing. At my last adjustment it was 4mm but I've tried measuring myself and its much less than that now, my bottom teeth just about touch my uppers and I still have a mm or 2 of space between my laterals and incisors so I'll need a powerchain to finish off but fingers crossed I'm almost getting closer to the end of elastics.

12mm overjet and narrow jaws all fixed with braces and elastics.
