Yupp thanks! I am so happy, Im seeing so many changes. At first I was doubtful because he said that in 2 months is my 1st adjustment, and the I will see much changes. But I was like the wire is so thin, and theres no pressure. So whats tugging the canine to move in its place?
March 26th is 8 weeks! I will post up pics then:)

Nope:) lol that was natural, had to so I can see my profile how it has changed in the end, if it does, but it looks worse now.
Today, I have another pokey wire and its buffing me, man this will be the 4th time I need it clipped in 2 months! If I did not clip it at all it would be like 2 cm long lol. Last time my face swelled up, if it does it again, time for another trip to the ortho:) I could use some was as well lol.

I have yet another pokey wire, wow in 2 months I had to have it clipped 4 times. So much shifting. I heard that in the first few months you see the most changes. Not sure though.
What a beautiful spring day. But the potholes in the city are wicked
Its like in the pluses here. The snow is melting yay! I miss summer. Gonna get my license soon!

2 Months In
Well heres to a nightmare of 2 months.
Pros
That canine is moving out of the way. The incisor is not playing peek a boo anymore.
Teeth better health, much eaiser to floss now.
Braces not noticable.
No problems with the lowers at all.
Cons
The stupid wire cuts into my cheeck.
Wax is driving me nuts, can't get enough of it. Means a 20 minute drive downtown to the Ortho office every 2 weeks, if I want the wax.
Now my left side bracket is rubbing under my lip now.
The lowers spaces are not closing up. It did for the year but now its like stopped. I wonder if I will get those powerchains to close the gaps (I think thats what they are for).
Only problems with uppers.
