Open Bite - My Journey with Braces

[jasv]

Hello Everyone!

I decided to share my experience and journey with braces, and this is my second time with braces.

To start off, I don't remeber having open bite before first braces. I got them due to crowding, there wasn't enough space for my upper canines and they came through very high in the arch. Thus, I had to wear the haas expander with facemask/headgear for 6 months and then I got the regular braces. During the treatment my ortho decided that there wasn't still enough space for my canines, and I had to have two of my 1st bicuspids removed. As a retainer I git the hawley retainer with tongue crib. I finshed my first treatment in 2012 and since then I was wearing the retainer until April this year.
The second journey with braces started April 20. We're working with the regular braces and I will aslo get metal brackets to the inside of my front teeth. Unfortunately, I don't know how severe is my open bite because my ortho didn't say.

Just to mention I'm 21

I get the impression that my upper incisors have moved to one side more

In advance, I'm sorry for my gross teeth

I had my first adjustment on Monday. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with what my teeth look like. Let me know what you think about the improvement!

I like the blue ligatures. Not a whole lot of movement yet, but closing an open bite takes time. Your teeth are relatively straight already, so they look great from the higher angle that doesn't show the gap. Looking forward to your progress!
