Not too much to update except they put a tighter power chain on and leveled my lower teeth.
it is a slow progress for sure but the rewards will be well worth it, it will be 2 years in Oct since I had them put on.

Thank's Emily,Yes Very pleased with the Progress so far

Back at the Ortho today, changed My Upper wire from .12 to a .16, installed a new lower wire still the same size .13 for integrity issues, intruding my lower teeth. Shaved some teeth also, Right front Tooth to match my left Front Tooth, right Canine to match the Left Canine tooth. Took off the Power...

Thank you.
You will Start to see Changes Soon, was about 6-8 weeks before I Seen Changes, I was in the exact Same boat as you, too many issues and was going to take forever, it really doesn't as soon as everything starts to move.
Good Luck on your progress cakers

8 Month progress update, on the same wire on the upper from day 1!, Have a Power band on the upper to close the gaps on my front 6 Teeth,still have a few tweaks to go yet, leveling the teeth is probably the next Adventure on the top, lower is still on wire 2,had that put on a few mo ago,already have...

not painful but just pressure, feels like you have a piece of Steak
stuck between your teeth, that is the best way that I can Explain it.

I got my Braces on in November of 2017, lower teeth were Crowded and it took approximately 3 months to Straighten them out, now working on the height differences on the lower. The upper took a bit longer as there was rotation,Overjet and over bite issues, the uppers are mostly in line now working on...

Went in for my checkup again, wires Are still the Same. Installed power chain to the upper front 123 Teeth, and Removed my Wire from my brackets on the 123 lowers and placed them on the tops of the brackets and wired tied them to intrude the Lower teeth. I am very Sore Today but that will only last ...

My Rear Molars are Like that now from my Palate Expansion, don't know why but hopefully it will work out in the end after my Braces Treatment is complete.

Wow 3 weeks for spacers! I only had mine in for 2 days.
You won't have any Soreness with the Expanders unless you turn them more than the Ortho Recommends like I done Once!
2 turns in one Day is not recommended if you are only Supposed to turn once.

Braces Progress from Day 1 November 15,2017 to Today March 2,2018.

Installed Bite Blockers on my upper pre molars. Installed new Lower Wire 0.14 and attached the wire to the rest of my lower teeth, I am Guessin...

I got My lower Expander Removed Before Christmas, Still have my upper Expander in now but not Turning, in retention now, Have my Braces installed the same day they took out the lower expander. Real PITA to Clean & Floss my Upper Teeth ATM but it Really Widened out both Arches! :D I have no Idea when...

Anyone have their Rear Upper Wisdom Teeth really Tipped outwards with Braces?
both of My uppers are really Tilted outwards towards my Cheeks and there is no wires on them, Is this Normal?
