Hey thanks Linda!
I see you're in Melbourne too! Yeah very fast progress with these braces, i'm so impressed! It just funny having all wobbly teeth, when i bite down - i can actually feel them moving around.. weird
But i know its all for a great cause, so i'm not fussed one bit in the slightest! So where's your braces journey Linda ?

Thanks Sarah
I really hope it continues too! Maybe i'm one of the lucky ones who's bottoms do move fast i hope so!
I've had no pain at all - and i'm finding food is getting less and less stuck in my teeth. Like for instance, when i first got my braces on - everything, and i mean everything use to get stuck! Maybe i'm just better now at getting it out whilst i eat constantly swishing water around in my mouth.. (how lovely)
I've been abit down lately - having lots of personal problems (girls) well only one girl. It's just so hard to make things work with one another, even though we both feel so strongly for eachother. Gets me really down.
Oh why are relationships so hard.. (only if i knew)

Hey guys!
Thought i'de just post some updates of my progress.
I've been having no teeth problems at all, besides food getting stuck in the nice gap from the good old open coil hehe.
Here's my bottom after 15 weeks.
Here's my top and bottom after 15 weeks
The open coil is doing its job just great!!
I was just going to ask anybody, with this open coil spring, once that tooth begins to move in or over the progress of the spring, will the other 3 teeth that are already in line, move out of line by any chance???? I really hope they don't.

Hi guys! Thought i'de post a little reply. Things are all well with my teeth for the moment, going to make an appointment with the dentist for a cleaning soon.
Heaps of space has opened up with the spring! well, not enough for the tooth yet but hope is the key hehe.
Now i'm at the stage where they are pretty much not there anymore, it's like there just another part of me and everybody is totally use to them on me so it's great!
I'll be posting a few more pics soon, i'll probably wait another couple weeks, but im sure you'll definitely be able to see a change by then
Thanks for listening to my story

Hey linda! thanks for that
Yeah i'm not really that concerned about my midline for the moment. Well so far i can see no dramatic movement with my other 3 teeth. the gap is just opening up more and more every time i look at it
But im sure it's going to be painful once that LL does come forward seeing as i did have one on the other side in that same position and it hurt abit, well not too much. hehe
And i use to do what you said all the timeee! move damn it, move!
It's just so different to feel straighter teeth in my mouth, seeing as i lived with it for pretty much all my life so far
i'll be sure to post some new pics soon, most likely after my tightening on the 3rd of may so still pretty much three weeks away

It looks like you have seen a lot of movement. The midline may correct itself once all your lowers align...that is what happened with mine. It does feel really strange when all the lowers are aligned--it is amazing what they can do with archwires and springs.
Good luck! Keep us updated!

Hey jen!
yeah i thought that might happen, the teeth are still straight its just the gap is opening larger and all of them are shifting over
can't wait for them to be all aligned! it's going to be the biggest thing ever when that happens! hahah ill have to have a party
Ill have to post some more updates with comparison to the first shots
i'll definitely be keeping it updated! and you too jen! keep us all updated with your progress, it's so good to watch somebody that pratically had the same problem as me
