8 Months Into Treatment

I saw my orthodontist yesterday. They took x-rays and pictures of my teeth. She attached tie-backs on my upper teeth to help close some minor spacing in the front, as well as gave me a new upper wire. My next appointment in April will be the actual sit-down session where we look at the progress and we talk about the final stretch! Yay! If I can obtain copies of yesterdays pictures, I will-- and I'll post them on here! Btw... my center line is about .5mm from being perfectly aligned.

Dr. Amy is fantastic. I had a great consultation with her. I had pictures taken of my mouth and the same day we sat down and looked at the pictures and discussed my goals, concerns and treatment options.

That's exciting! Are you willing to have your braces on longer in order to get your mid-line perfectly aligned? I know that many Ortho's can't always get it perfect and mine said that won't be one of my goals but if its close (and 0.5mm is close), then I'm happy!

That's so exciting! Any updates yet? I'm also 8 months into my projected "18 months or less" treatment time.

Seven Months Into Treatment

rockiesgurl
I went to my orthodontist today. I received new wires on the top and the bottom. I'm feeling a little bit of "pressure pain" as they said I would. My orthodontist said that everything was on track and that we are "getting close" to being done with the treatment. In 4-5 weeks I have my next appointment. At this appointment I will be taking progress pictures and determining the little things that need to be done to "tweak" my smile to make it perfect. Sounds like I will be getting these babies off by the summer. Crossing my fingers!

Thanks for updating!  How are your midlines lining up at this point?  They didn't seem quite done at the 6-month mark.  And is your overjet gone now?  So exciting, how close you are! :D

Here are the pictures taken before the braces were put on. These were taken by the orthodontist office.

Looking great!  I know midline shifting is really really time-consuming.  Are you seeing results in that department so far?

Yes, I have seen results. I would say we are about half way there. It's taking longer than I expected but apparently it's just one of those time-consuming corrections.

That is what I've heard over and over as well.  At least you're seeing progress, though--that always helps :D
