8 months and no change
Re: 8 months and no change
Sorry to hear this. Eating and smiling do get easier. Are you sure there's no movement? Sounds like you should have a chat with your orthodontist, they may be able to say what they are expecting at his stage & if you are on track. Pictures will often help.

I got extractions and they are closing fast he told me that it takes time because he have to move my teeth once by one I see progress on the holes from the extractions but my overbite is still theresmilehope wrote:Sorry to hear this.

Re: 8 months and no change
This is the life of orthodontics. It'll start to change...eventually.
I had a 5 mm gap in between my front teeth close within 2 months. The 1 mm gap formed by that closure? Nope. Won't close. It's been at least 3-4 months but NOTHING.
*eventually* something will happen.
