Half a year in braces - progress pics

#1 Post by butterfly »

Hi! Image

Celebrate with me - I hit the 6 months mark this week.

Here are my progress pics:

Image
Uppers in the beginning

Image
Uppers now. All teeth are inline. There is a gap to be closed. Some teeth have to be tilted to reach their final position.

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