Thank you guys for the encouragement!

I am pretty happy with how things are going! And i found out my ortho attended Yale at the age of 16

so that makes me feel even better about trusting him with my mouth! lol

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

Your teeth look very nice! I can't get over how nice they look! Also, those silver powerchains up top look so cool! They don't look like regular silver, they look almost pearly, light silver!

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

Thank you kk!

I will post the picture in that thread right now.

Does anyone know how strong a 25/19 wire is? or what it does? I kinda forgot to ask

lol

Jesse - Your teeth look great, and what color powerchain is that? I LOVE IT!

Posted: **Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:04 am**

Jessie,

I like your powerchains, I have never seen any like those.

Posted: **Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:49 am**

Thanks guys! They tell me they are silver, but they sure don't look silver to me lol.
But i do remember them saying it was a new, lighter colour silver that doesn't stain as easily and doesn't look so noticeable

Heres to your teeth looking amazing

Plus your teeth are super clean

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!!!
