Congrats on taking the plunge. Unless you are taking pictures regularly, it is very difficult to assess changes -- they are slow (something like 1mm per month at most) and quite subtle, especially at the beginning when the ortho is attempting to simply align the teeth more or less vertically around the arches, without a lot of lateral movement. There is a sticky on this forum, something about a time-lapse series of photographs that someone posted a few years ago. That might help you appreciate how slow things are. Best of luck to you.
