Looks like those teeth are getting closer and closer to being attached to the wire! Good luck! Your bottom teeth look great!

Good to see you again!

Your bottom teeth are looking fantastic. They're usually the slowest to move.

Can't wait to watch the progress on top once they tie in your laterals!!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!!

So glad to see you back again. And congratulations on your fantastic progress!!

Thanks for taking an interest and the compliments. Sorry I haven't posted more information. I'll probably just post updated pics every now and then and answer any questions, if you have any. That's about it.

And is it just me, or does everyone have "bed head" after getting out of the chair? Everytime I get out to my car and look in the mirror, it looks like I just crawled out of bed! I think they mess your hair up on purpose. But they do it very subtly, so you don't know it happening. . .

I never looked! Gosh...I'm so focused on my teeth, I haven't looked at my hair. I will now!!

Oh, BTW, your teeth are really showing movement now!!

your teeth are looking incredible! Congratulations!

I have a impacted tooth that they are trying to bring down and that elastic chains they use are incredibly painful but they do work!

I remember one time when my ortho was trying to hook a wire through a chain in my gums and he had my head up so high in the chair (it was so uncomfy and embarrassing) for about 20 minutes and when I got up my hair was a disaster and everyone was looking at me funny.

Keep up the great movement!

WOW! That is some awesome progress you got there! Congratulations on finally getting your lateral attached to the wire!

It looks like your other lateral is coming along nicely too! Great that your not in any pain too! I remember having my impacted canine attached to the wire with elastic thread was absolutely painful!

your smile is looking much better! Btw: I like your ligs!

Thank you Hannah and Karen. I am pretty happy with the progress so far. Its strange how fast that lateral came into place. I didn't expect it to go so fast. I just hope the other does the same. I do like the green ligs too. I remember seeing Meryatens a while back with alternating light to dark green and thought it looked cool. But I want to wait til all the teeth are attached to the wire before I start alternating colors. I'd like to try the alternating greens, or maybe blue. There's so many cool looking combo's. Which to choose? I know ALL of them. I figure I'll be in these braces long enough to do it. Anyways, thanks again ladies.

Can you even believe it when you look in the mirror??

You've got to be so excited! Keep up the good work!!

Those ligs are the best!!!

I gotta say that is some impressive movement! your teeth are looking amazing! well done

You are going to look completely different when your treatment is finished. You can already see major movement just in that short span of time.
