New move, new ortho and surgeon

I haven't posted in awhile because life has been crazy. I have recently finished school, got a job, and moved back to my home state of Minnesota within the past month. Since I have moved from Illinois to Minnesota, I have had to get a new orthodontist. I was sad to say good bye to all of the good people at Arlington Heights ortho but I am in good hands with Pearson orthodontics in Edina. I have a meeting this Thursday to talk about next steps and my new surgical team since I should be ready in about 6 months! Updated photos of my smile now. You cannot even tell that I had 4 teeth extracted!

 

Ortho appointment 4/7/14

Just a quick update. Teeth have moved a lot and the gaps on the bottom are almost totally gone. My top two teeth are starting to over lap but they're trying to fix that. In pain but worth the improvement. Next appointment is in three weeks!

Ortho appointment 2/14/14

I know it has been 2 weeks since my appointment but things have been so busy ! With interviews and a trip to Minnesota things have even crazy. Photos are attached for updates. Teeth are still sore and moving and my next appointment is in two weeks!

Progression

I feel like my teeth have moved a tremendous amount lately and wanted to show some pictures to document. 

Ortho appointment 1/3/2014

Just got done at the ortho. I've been upgraded to newer wires that apparently will move my teeth more. I also have a chain going all the way around my top row of teeth to start moving my teeth back and fix the protrusion of my maxilla. I am scheduled to go back in 6 weeks but was told I will probably be back in a few days because my teeth will have moved so much that the wire will be poking into my cheeks. 

Second orthodontist appointment

I had my second appointment last Friday the 22nd. They replaced the chain that they have connecting my lower canines to my molars to pull them back into the extraction site. It hurt like a bitch to get the chain switched but surprisingly no pain today. The orthodontist was very surprised by how fast my teeth are moving and said they are ahead of schedule so far! Hopefully my teeth keep it up!

Photo update

Just posting some pics of my teeth movement. My bottom teeth have been really sore the past few days making it hard to bite into food. I'm hoping that goes away soon!
