SARPE gap not closing

[woollymammoth]

I got braces about a month after SARPE. The gap closed a bit in the first few weeks but hasn't budged for the last two months. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hi,

They blocked my expander about 2 weeks ago. Because my teeth started to shift the wrong way (tipping inwards), my ortho but a very fine wire in with no pressure to keep them aligned.
They are more straight now but the gap hasn't moved one bit either.
I guess it's normal, i've read other story's where it takes up to 5 weeks for movement to even start.

My last day of expanding was March 2nd. I also got my braces on that day. My 10mm gap has closed only... maybe half a mm? It really is taking its sweet time. It's crazy how different everybody's experience with this procedure is.

My gap closed by itself before my braces were put on. My last turn was on the 28 May and today (24 April) I got my braces.

So over the 4 weeks between stopping turn and getting braces the gap completely closed until my front two teeth overlapped like this - http://imgur.com/a/RgcSs

I think this is unusual though as my oral surgeon was really surprised when I last saw him - and at that point they hadn't started to overlap.

Orthodontist isn't phased by it. Said it worked in my favour so I didn't have to rock the gap for too long
