Sorry to hear this. Eating and smiling do get easier. Are you sure there's no movement? Sounds like you should have a chat with your orthodontist, they may be able to say what they are expecting at his stage & if you are on track. Pictures will often help.
1st Feb 2012 - extraction both upper 2nd premolars
Braced 9th March 2012 - lower metal fixed and upper removable plate
5th September 2012 - bite plate gone, upper ceramic fixed fitted
Estimated treatment time 18-24 months

This is the life of orthodontics. It'll start to change...eventually.

I had a 5 mm gap in between my front teeth close within 2 months. The 1 mm gap formed by that closure? Nope. Won't close. It's been at least 3-4 months but NOTHING.

*eventually* something will happen.
