Well i had my 4th adjustment today. (7 months and a few days into it)It was VERY eventful and i got some good news!!
First, what they did. 2 new wires!! I got a 19/25 gold wire put on top, and an 8 gold wire put on bottom!! Starting to feel it a little bit now but thats ok!
They also put powerchains on me!! I went with silver colour. It looks like i'm making some decent progress, and my ortho seemed very pleased!
For good news, i was told my TPA will be removed at my next appointment, which is only 6 weeks away. Every other time its been 8!
So it looks like i might be at the next "step"
Anyways, here is when i started
And here is now.
The right side now
The left side now

Thank you Miss Smiley! I agree, i thought when i asked for silver they would look a lot more noticeable. I like this crazy pearl colour a lot!
The only problem i have is with my photos! in the mirror my right side (right side in the pics) looks so much nicer. In the pictures it looks a lot more messed up. Oh well, it's what matters when you see it in person, right? lol

OK, here is some pics from today, March 20th. Definitely getting sick of them to where im almost at my breaking point (see my post in the main forum if you like drama)
If you see progress, please let me know! Only do it if you see it though, not just to be nice
I think i might get them 2.5-3 more months and then get them off regardless

Hi Jesse!
Nice photos! Your top braces look exactly like mine. How cool. And I can tell a difference in the gaps on your top arch. The left side looks like it's closing faster. I have this same issue. I had two extractions (same place as yours) and my left side is closing much faster than the right. But those spaces are so small now... I bet those braces will be off sooner rather than later. You'll have an absolutely gorgeous smile! I'm jealous. I wish I only had a couple more months!
Great progress. Congrats!!!
