My Progress So Far!

#1 Post by jaime »

I've been wearing braces for 7 weeks as of today so I figured it was time for a progress post!

I'm pretty ecstatic about my progress so far. Already my teeth look far better than I ever could have imagined, and it's only just begun.

My apologies for the crappy quality of some of the photos. I've been between computers and using my phone to take some of the photos.

edit: Oh crap, I just noticed on the middle photo (lower teeth), the images are flipped either way. Must be because one was taken with my phone and the other on my computer!

Thanks everyone!! As crazy as it sounds, I'm looking forward to getting power chains and elastics. My bite is so off and I have gaps aplenty.

Wow, that's amazing progress on the top, specifically. I have one tooth (the one beside my left front tooth) that has moved a LOT, to the point where I was actually worried about it (would it fall out?!). It looks like that might be normal, based on your results. Awesome!
