Next time I will take pink ligs. The purple ones make my mouth too dark.

Congratulations on movement so quickly, Platinum!

And good on you for deciding to quit smoking - it should help your teeths' progress too!

Thanks Kiwi!

I guess the very small gap between my top front teeth will be closed. Should not take 18.5 months, tough.

I noticed that my teeth have not moved as such. They have just tilted outwards. The botton part of my incissor that is little behind is in same place as it used to be. Only the top is in line with others.

Hmmmm

Quick question, when you have hawley retainers, do they just go across those front teeth, or is it different for everyone?

Ps, Nice pics:)

I have some gaps between second laterals and canines, so i guess it was easier to put that metal thing between them. My Hawley retainer is not for retaining my teeth in position, just preventing me to knock lower brackets off. So, they do not need to be like the conventional Hawleys.

Firts adjustment was ok. It hurt a little when the assistant put the new ligs. I had broken my archiwire... I had not noticed anything.

brcae day and 1. adj.

My deepbite seem to be still there

my teeth are sore. Strangely only my left side is sore. There is no pain on my right side. hmmm. in three months my bottom teeth should be in shape that I can get the upper braces. I really like pink ligs. They don't show too much. My boyfrined thinks that pink ones are much better than purple ones, too.

Ortho was not desperately happy that I am not wearing my retainer 24/7, but it just isn't possible at work.

I haven't been smokin for 3 weeks!!!!!!! Yestetday I wanted to smoke so much.... but i managed not to!!!!!!

Just little bit over two monmths

And some movement

)

at the beginning, after first and 2 second month

The incissor that was behind others has actually moved so much that it is little bit more forward than the canine. And the arch is bit trange shaped.
Could it be because my arch wire is poking 5 mm on that side?
I have to go and fix that thing.

And here is my upper arch, which will be braced in 1.5 months if my lowers will behave
