Why you feeling discouraged kaylaa?

If youre discouraged about not seeing movement, remember it's hard to see when you're checking all the time. Also people with massive amounts of alignment issues do get movement the quickest. People with more bite issues, like you, often don't see movement so fast, as there's so many things happening. I found movement in three ways ... my bite felt different and floss was harder to do in some areas and easier in others ... so I knew there'd been changes. The best for me, was comparing my photos at the end of each month ... this was how I really saw what was happening and it was so encouraging.

It's great when you get to the stage that you know longer feel the archwire working. These archwires continue to work until your teeth are in a perfect alignment, so unless your's are there already, you can be sure it's still working. It's great when we adjust to the pressure and work that's going on in our mouths and get on with living our lives and not obsessing about something that's so insignificant as orthodontic work!

Good luck!
