Man, it seems like i just got these things on yesterday, time is just flyin by. I will find out at the next visit (jan 6th) if extractions will still be necesarry. The one tooth on top that is almost inline now is a little numb, i hope its just fom the moving its been doing lately. Anyhow, here are some photo's that are about a week old now. Hang mouse over photo to enlarge.

Wow it's amazing how quick that incisor moved in after they took off the spring!! Looks like it is nearly in line after only a week. I get my fourth adjustment tomorrow and they should be removing the spring on my lower teeth. I have one tooth that has not moved AT ALL because of no room. It hasn't even been ligatured for the past 7 weeks. Tomorrow they are supposed to wire tie it. There is plenty of room for it now.

yeah, when they took off that spring it felt great! I hated that spring so much. It feels so much less jumbled up in there now.

Your right, that one tooth has moved a bunch in a very short time, probably why my front teeth are still sore after 5 days..LOL. I bet by Christmas, it will be where it should be, right in line with the rest. Like i said, that tooth is somewhat numb, i hope its due to the rapid movement and not something else. Next will be the extraction decision, then some leveling out. I am really hoping for less than 2 years, but only time will tell, literally. :wink:
