Your teeth look great! I zoom in on my own asymmetry issues too, but I don't think others notice at all. All they'll be looking at is your great smile!

wow, your teeth are looking beautiful! I honestly don't see any symmetry issues, but you know people naturally have a stronger, more dominant side to them and so maybe that is what you're seeing?

Good point Lorianne!

Funny story:

Husband: How much longer do you have in braces?
Me: About a year hopefully. 18 months at the most.
Husband :shock: WHAT?!? Another year?!? But the space is closed!
Me: That's not ALL that has to be done...the space was redistributed and now THOSE spaces have to be closed, plus opening my bite a little, plus waiting for everything to stabilize.
Husband: How long does it take to stabilize?!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :-* :-* :-*

I must have known it was coming! :)

Today I got my reverse curve wire put back on the lower arch to open up my bite a bit and got full powerchains on the top teeth. YOWZA!!!! I need to go stock up on cans of soup!

I forgot to ask him about my right incisor slightly lapping under the left one. Nothing major...And I got more colored ties on bottom! :mrgreen: :-* :-* :-*

My progress - Month 10

#29 Post by MrsCharisma »

10 months in!

He said at next month's visit, we will do x-ray's and see if any brackets need repositioning. He was pretty excited about how quickly I am moving along. still got my fingers crossed that they'll only be on 18 months :) I wouldn't mind being brace free by age 35!
