My progress! Almost done? *pics*

#1 Post by touchofhiddencharm »

Hello beautiful people. I've had my braces since May 2013 and I have been keeping track of my progress somewhat. I would like to think that id be almost done by next May. I should start working on moving my overbite next adjustment since I have a few small spaces left to close this month. My appt was yesterday. Please let me know what you think about my progress! Am I right to get excited? Do you think he can fix my overbite in four months? The space between the teeth is kind of closed, they just just need to be brought up some (vertically). I also think i will have to get some gum lasered off my top teeth. After starting with so much space from the extractions, the gum has sort of squished together and it doesn't look cool. Lol. But I'll stop rambling now. Let me know what you think please. Thanks. The pics are comparing my first month with braces and today.

Oh and my bite is pretty much aligned perfectly. He says it looks great so my rubber band wear will be minimal, and only for the overbite.

Great progress!!! Your teeth are very well aligned now and I don't think your overbite is very obvious, so I think you are are on track. Good luck with the last part of your treatment!

Wow! Such great progress! Only your ortho can tell you when you might be ready to be done so definitely ask. Just don't be disappointed if he/she isn't quite sure yet. The triangle elastics usually used to work on your overbite are a little tough to get used to in the beginning but if you can suck it up and push your way through it to wear them all the time except for eating and brushing, the results happen fairly quickly. At least, they did fo rme.

Wow -- great transformation! We're you surprised that you were told another 6 months? I find it very difficult to really predict how long this process takes. Best thing for me is to stop obsessing on the end date but that is difficult to do!

Good luck!
