Hi!
Celebrate with me - I hit the 6 months mark this week.
Here are my progress pics:
Uppers in the beginning
Uppers now. All teeth are inline. There is a gap to be closed. Some teeth have to be tilted to reach their final position.

Lowers on their first day of expansion.

I am sooo happy!
Just cannot wait for the final gap to close and the incisor to be rotated.
