Looks great!!! I have an 8mm overjet, but shorter teeth and a gummier smile, so they are trying to talk me into double jaw surgery. I am torn on it! When I see progress like yours, I want to try the non surgical route for sure!
My teeth are VERY similar to yours. Did they want you to have surgery? Do you have rubber bands on your back teeth? I was told my overjet would just be rounded out and brought back some but to look at yours....I would be happy with that! Do you know what mm you are at now?
Upper and lower metals-
Brace date- Dec 19,2012
Treatment- anterior left open bite, overjet, lower crowding, jaw dysfunction, some upper canine rotation
Age- 42
that is amazing to see all that changes without extractions! (makes me wonder whether my overjet couldn've been fixed without it as well).can't wait to see ur final results!
