Well I've had my first change of wires after 8 weeks and I can noticeably see the bottom teeth a lot straighter.I was put on a thicker wire this time, as I'm assuming that just aids in moving things around with a bit more force.
The top tooth on my right (left in the photo) also known as the Lateral Incisor hasn't shown as much improvement as I'd like, I think there is some improvement however it is pretty slight.The same goes with my bottom left tooth (right in the photo) aka 1st Premolar is still hanging out there or aptly described by the orthodontist on my first consultation as "arggh... what happened there." I had a laugh at that because I'd thought the same myself on more than one occasion!
According to the dental nurse who changed my wires an elastic may be needed later in the piece to move my more stubborn teeth into correct alignment.
I'm a little surprised at how quickly the bottom teeth have moved however I can see that its going to take quite a while to get that 1st Premolar back into place. Lets hope the bigger wires move things a long more quickly.
