Definitely loving the transformation, it's a wonder what modern o...

Thank you!!! :)

Hey Guys! Just taken some new shots today, i've been a bit lazy with the posts lately. I had my adjustment a few days ago, he put a stiffer wire on top and took off the power chain ontop, and there's still a rectangular wire on the bottom, so those teeth will continue to rotate. I was in a bit of pa...

Well, i'm suppose to get them off at the end of the year i believe, my teeth are coming along really well. I just went for another adjustment a few weeks ago, the ortho put on a bottom rectangular wire to start the torque, and rotate those roots forward, i can already see the difference in the botto...

Hi guys, just had my appointment today. there still isn't enough room to attach the arc wire to that annoying tooth, but he's added more O-Coil and more elastic to bring the tooth in more. Here's a pic at 44 weeks and to compare it to the 37 week shot! http://www.snapdrive.net/files/374030/18th%20Oc...

I'll post some photos up very soon! thanks for reading everybody
