Adult Ceramic Braces-20 Month Journey- Midline off, Still in elastics and waiting patiently

Hello and welcome to my blog, my braces journey has been a very humbling experience. This has taught me patience if nothing else. There are so many things going on underneath my gums and killing part about it is you cannot see it. I have watched my progress over the past 20 months and it has been amazing. I don't know the dental lingo but I know I am very impatient.

I know I can't rush this, but it is apparent that I will be wearing my braces in 2016'. I have a couple of things still to fix (just my opinion):
My midline is off a little bit
My bottom teeth are completely hidden when I smile, looks like I have an over bite
Space on right side has almost completely closed and I have a very small space on bottom left

I noticed from my old pictures that my midline was off horribly when I first got my braces. The midline is where the line is between the top and bottom teeth along with the nose line up.

Beginning 2014

November 2015

I am somewhat happy with my results, my teeth look 100% better than the first photo. This was quite  embarrassing, I am so glad I decided to get braces. I do not know how much longer I have to wear them, but honestly I know it is going to be next year for sure. When my dentist not my ortho said another year I just looked in amazement. So all I can do is be patient.

Thanks for watching my video and reading my blog. I probably won't update until 2016'.
