So, I was out running, and I had my phone in front of me, and I FINALLY remembered to take an updated photo. I guess I can see a little progress, mostly in my front two teeth. Snaggletooth still hasn't turned though. I suspect I'll eventually need to use the dreaded bands. Anyhoo, here it is, please forgive the redness and the sweat =D

ReplyDeleteWild. It's only been like, what? Two weeks? I didn't realize they moved that quickly. No wonder it hurts!
ReplyDeleteIt's been three, actually, but still. I was surprised, too! They're gonna have a hard time getting that one tooth to turn, though. It hasn't budged. Plus my bite is still all wonked up. The daughter of my bandmates has a friend who's currently ending her time in braces. She said she had the same issues and she eventually had to wear the rubber band thingies, so I bet that's in my future.
DeleteBUT, she's still a teenager, and my ortho was very emphatic that treatment for adults vs teenagers is quite different, so who knows. It's only been three weeks, and I haven't even had my first adjustment yet. I'll be curious to see how things change after that. April 18th, 2014 is the next date.
