New but also not new! My story + pictures.

Hello! Finally I decided to join this forum. I've been reading here a lot, mostly before getting my braces on. I got my top braces on February 16 and bottom March 20, so roughly 1 month since being fully braced. Before that I had a top bicuspid extracted.

My problem is a crossbite, off midline and crooked teeth. I have been taking pictures every week and wow... my super crooked snaggle tooth is getting in line! Before I could place my tongue under this tooth all the way up to the gum. I am so happy with this decision, and all of you helped me to finally decide. I'm 31, by the way. Ortho says I will be braced for 1,5 years but hopefully for a shorter time.

Here are some pictures of my upper jaw! I hope this works. Password is 'myteeth'.

Looking great! I have a tooth that stick out on the corner like yours. Getting braced on the 18th.

Welcome!

Looks like great progress having only been fully braced for a matter of weeks.
