I've been in powerchains since adjustment number 1 so don't worry about how long you going to be in powerchains for... As for progress. You have amazing progress keep it up and look forward to see your story progress more!

Ok, so let see. I got my lowers braced over a month ago, August 17th, I got the Ice Brackets on the bottom, they are barely noticeable. Everything is going smoothly, just went on Monday and got 2 new thicker wires, my power chains came off, and he gave me an elastic to wear on the left side. The powerchains left me a nice little gap on the right side, so now we are gradually shifting both the upper and lowers in different directions in order to align my midline. I think that's what he said.

Here is a picture of my smile right before I got the power chains off, you'll notice the dingy yellow powerchains on the sides. I have to try to get pictures of the progress of my arches.

Oh, and here is my fun shirt I got. Wore it to the Ortho, they all got a chuckle.

So I went to the ortho today, everything is looking FANTASTIC!! I'm pretty much done, just a few more tweaks. Going to close up the bite a little on my left side, and since my teeth are triangular it looks like I have little spaces between them so on a few he's going to shave it down a little between the teeth so then the braces will bring them closer together, if that makes any sense. I go back in 3 weeks for that, then not soon after that they will be off probably only a month or two!! I have only had the uppers on for about 8 months, the lowers about 3 months. Orginal estimate was 24 months, but I know they give that estimate to most people.
