I think definitely one of the things I have learn in the close to 10 months in braces is caring a lot less what other people think about my braced look which is an awesome feeling and is one that I can share for those who are considering braces but are worried about how it may affect their appearance.
Here's my progress thus far...
The changes are definitely a lot more subtle in the front especially but my bite is improving, here's where my extraction gaps are at
My bite is improving and the gaps are definitely closing, with every visit my elastics get changed to a thicker one, strangely through no real pain (not complaining though), for those who are not familiar with what they look like here's an example
I also now have 3 orthodontic brushes of varying sizes as the movement have opened up gaps or black triangle looking holes between my teeth, here's the ones I'm using at present
(1) Oral-B - Fantastic for cleaning in between brackets
(2)Watsons - Fantastic for cleaning the "black triangles" between teeth
