    How long until you start to see change?

    I'm only on week 3, but I wonder how long until you were able to see a difference from wearing your braces? My teeth are fairly straight. The only big problem I have is the space between my front teeth. I'm not worried, just curious I've also started taking pictures of my teeth and will probably do that once a week just to see the progress that I'm making. Maybe I should start a blog, too

    Some changes are quicker and easier to see than others.

    Teeth that need the most alignment work, are usually the easiest to see. Some people see changes almost immediately, while for others it can take a month or longer for the changes to be obvious.

    It's great you're taking pictures. Also check how your bite feels, as often the changes with where teeth meet, are an early indication of change.

    With invisalign, progress can be checked, by comparing older aligners. This is something you'll be able to check as the months pass.

    Good luck with your progress.
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!

    I have worn these for 6 weeks, I see a slight change. When I looked at the clincheck with the ortho i saw that the biggest movement was on week 12 of 13.
    So... with that said... I can't wait for week 12. Even with the pain that might be associated with it... I'll take it for the straight teeth!
    Hang in there, I'm sure you will see change soon.
    I just noticed you have bee wearning your braces for 2 years 10 mos? were these regular braces? I will check out your blog. Good luck!
