Bottoms put on
Its been one week since I got my bottom row of braces put on. I will say they were way more uncomfortable than the upper row. Definitely a adjustment. The swelling has finally gone down too!

Wow our teeth are sooo similar I can't believe it!! I've had Damon braces for 3.5 months now and my underbite/crossbite is nearly gone. My bottom teeth (which look so much like yours!) were first to show a lot of progress and my top teeth are moving but sooooooooo slowly. I can't tell if your top front teeth are as rotated as mine, but I know that I will feel like a new person when I no longer have a shadow in between my front teeth every time I smile! Best of luck with your treatment! You will see some big changes pretty quickly!

Curious: How are the bottom braces more uncomfortable than the top braces? Is it just in how they felt when they first went on?

Well I noticed a lot more swelling and friction against my bottom lips. Wax has been my best friend!

You say that like it's a bad thing, LOL! I would pay a lot if money to look 17 ;).
But seriously, you look good! I think braces are festive. My eldest daughter got silver top and bottom and she took one look and loved them! If you're not predisposed to hating them because of, like, every teen movie ever, they're really more like jewelry for your teeth!
Are you uncomfortable, or is it going okay?
