Week 11 Update & Concerns

I realize I'm a week behind with my update so here is last week's post.  I just never got around to publishing it.

Around week 8 my front top teeth looked amazing.  They were finally straight and turned outward.  Now it one tooth is longer than the other and half the top jaw are at an angle.  It just seems like they are worse!  Is it one of those things where it has to get worse before it gets better?  I know I'm just over 2 months into my treatment, but I'm a little worried.  See what I mean?!


I saw my ortho on Wednesday and he wasn't concerned.  We're on track.  That was the confirmation I needed.  I can't help but think, what if I'm that one case that goes completely awry?  Anyway, he fitted me with a new power chain and new bands for the back teeth.

  1. hey alisha, your teeth look awesome, and I too felt the same way about my teeth a few months into treatment. I asked & I was told that a lot of times teeth will look a little worse before they can look better. I had a ton of new gaps, and my back molars that were once straight didnt even line up. Not to mention one of them was curved inward but after a few months they straightened out again. Dont worry girl! your teeth are looking great :-)
