Hi everyone! Today I had my second adjustment. I got some thicker wires and my turbos were removed! yay! I remember when I first got them on, I was convinced I would never eat again. And now, 3 months later, they are off. I feel a little pressure from the new wires, but I don't think it will be as bad as when I first got braces.

I was very encouraged to see progress and I think these wires will create even more progress. My ortho said I would probably have to come in before my next appt because the wires will have gotten "longer" by then.

I am very happy right now, and if anyone who has just gotten braces is reading this, hang in there. I was once where you were andhave made some progress, it will all be worth it!

    Fantastic to read your positive post SoCal!

    It's great that the turbos are gone, as that's one less thing to have in your mouth! Good luck with more progress now that movement has started!

    Every one of us goes through this same horrid process in the beginning - I think it's almost a rite of passage haha. I am so glad you got your turbo's off. Those are the absolute WORST!! This is the most exciting time in your treatment, when your teeth are moving fast and you can see lots of changes. I am happy for you!

    Thanks everyone! It is so cool to feel my back teeth touch after months of not having any contact. I am very excited right now and can't believe how quickly time is flying by.
