Really great that your wayward tooth is now on its way forward, Chris!

A little hard to tell from the pic -- what's that running from the spring to the wayward lateral? Very interesting configuration!

Hi guys!

thanks for your comments

the clear thing running from my tooth to the spring is actually a highly tensed piece of elastic, my otho said he needs to bring to tooth forward enough so that he can attach it to the arc-wire i've never seen this method before, but i tell you its working! already i've seen a change, just in a few 5 days!

so by next month it will have come in alot and he will be able to attach it to the arc wire and then line it all up! oh so excited! by bottom arc is so close to being normal hehe.

Hi, Chris!
Congratulations on getting that wayward lateral attached! I'm sure it will line up with the rest of the gang in no time! Here's to fast, smooth treatment!

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!

44 weeks is on the Left, 37 Weeks on the right.

Hi Chris!

OMG! I just read up on your thread and all I can say is "WOW" and big congrats to you on all your movement!

It is pretty amazing what they can get these teeth to do, huh?!

I know how excited I am going to be when my hidden upper lateral finally comes out to play! I hope I get the kind of awesome results you have.

You're getting there Chris.

It reminds me of my tooth, exact same tooth in the same position. Once it finally gets onto the archwire it will fly forward.

Good luck.

Regards
Joney

Hey all! Just had another adjustment a few days ago. Now this was the adjustment i was waiting for! they finally attached that lateral insiscor to the arc wire finally!

And it's already started to move in much faster than before! And i recently got a new camera aswell, and the photos came up so much better! So here are a shot of the top and the bottom after 50 weeks!

Now i must say some fantastic progress! I'm very happy with it
