Thanks for your kind and encouraging comments, juliecee, system and Andy.
I hope I will get a good result without surgery, my ortho still thinks I will.

Looks great Anna! Is the midline all that needs to be fixed now? I can see a little movement between 9 and 11 mo pics. I'm so happy for you!!

Thanks for your kind and encouraging comment, Sunshineray.
My ortho is now working on my midline, that is indeed the last thing that needs fixing! (according to my ortho)
Although I still hope he can get my smile a bit less canted too before debracing.

Hi Anna,

It's nice to finally be here and finally be able to follow your progress. I still can't see pictures, but maybe I will after I post my first post. :)

Hi Anna,

It's going great! I'm really happy with the results so far. I know a lot still needs to be done, but it's all worth it. I honestly wish I'd done this years ago!! But better late than never, right?

Okay, I'll try to post as much as I can in the next while. :)

Ha ha, I tried indeed, but it didn't really work. I think I swallowed more than once one of these elastics! :)

It IS definitely worth it! I'm so happy I'm going through with it. Honestly. I can already see the bite closing in more since my last photos. I'll post new ones when I'm done with this step of the treatment.

I really can't wait to see your progress. I'm always amazed at how much difference even the smallest changes make!

I think I tried to eat with elastics once and then gave up after that. :)

Hello Parapian!

Can't wait to see your bite closing up even more!!
I think you need to make 10 posts and then you can see all the pictures! The colour of your username turns green then (now it is still red which means you are a new user).
