Adjustment #3 (6 weeks)

 I guess the ortho was right about the top two teeth moving down fast! I didn't realize it until I looked at other pics... they are coming along quite nicely. I'm starting to get a bit concerned about the second front teeth... incisors I think...? because they seem to keep moving further and further back. I'm guessing after the canines come down they will just attach those teeth into the arch wire and all will be all right. 
 Look at the wire! It's straight! That is crazy... it only took 2 weeks for that to happen!

Overall, still a lot to be done. I asked when they thought I might be getting my lowers but the ortho assistant said they don't put them on until the tops are pretty much set... so who knows. Maybe by October? That will be my 6 month mark... and another cleaning! My first with braces. :0) I go back in 2 weeks.

ps. This post is a bit late. My actual appt. was on Wed. May 27th. 

Adjustment #2 (4 weeks!)

I had my second adjustment today! I swear my teeth know when the adjustments are coming because a day or two ahead of time they start to get sore! Almost in fear... haha. Although it never is bad getting an adjustment (so far). I was a bit nervous again, probably because I never know what they are going to do to me next! The doctor said my teeth were moving along great! He was very pleased with the progress. It was cool to see how far I've come. He brought out the molds this time along with the pictures and wow! You can really tell a difference. All of the staff at the ortho was really impressed and proud of me. My canines were included in the arch wire and I got new power chains on them too (2 closed... whatever that means...). I got light blue this time. I still can't believe how much you really don't notice the braces when you get light colors! I go back in 2 more weeks. The doc said I should see my teeth moving really fast now. Here are some pics!:

It looks so much different with the canines in with the rest of the teeth now!

 There's some room being made! Hooray!

You can tell that one tooth is moving down faster than the other. My fiance said that it's always been that way but it's actually starting to catch up to the other one! Yay. Only a year away til the wedding! I hope there's enough time...
