6 weeks! Anna

So, I'm 6 weeks in and the difference in my teeth is amazing!! I've realised I'm much less self conscious about having the braces-just have to be bold and smile a lot, then people can see them, they have a quick look and thats it!!My top lip still gets stuck on them when I smile, so I still have to do the weird lip freeing manouvre-but it doesn't bother me much now! I've been on a few nights out and no one really seems to notice them much-or they've had too many drinks to notice!!  I'm still getting lots of questions about braces-how much they cost, how long will it take and can people have the number of the clinic I go to!! I'm managing to eat whatever I like really, but still consuming things that don't require much chewing at work and when out-to avoid the mess of half a meal being caught in them!! I went on holiday 3 days after my wire change-haven't had much tooth pain-a bit weird and numb at times and a tiny bit tender-but it's no where near like when you first have them put on-phew!! The only thing was on the 2nd day of holiday, the insides of my cheeks and lips got a bit swollen and the braces started to rub again, but obviously I travel everywhere with wax now-so it was easy to avoid the ulcers. Seemed to settle down after a nights sleep with the mouth gaurd in! Apart from that day, I haven't needed the wax at all this week! I think its because my teeth have moved so much, no one particular tooth is sticking out to cause rubbing. 3 teeth still need to move in a bit-but they don't stick out so obviously! Most of the movement left to go is moving the teeth left or right, and 3 need to turn to face forward! I have to say I still like the pressure you get on your teeth because you know they're moving! I feel like the time is flying by now, but I'm still eager to get them off and am still counting down the weeks! This really helps though-as does looking at the pics regularly!
Once again, day 1 on the left, 6 weeks on the right
Again my snaggle tooth next my front upper middle tooth has moved in a bit!!
The same tooth on the other side has straightened a bit! But I think the biggest change in the last 2 weeks is the 3rd from centre, lower right tooth-which I didn't realise how misplaced it was until seeing this weeks pics! It's really moved back and up into its proper place, so there is much less of an angle on that bottom wire! and it's turned slightly!
My two front bottom teeth are very nearly not overlapping and a gap has opened between them at the gum line-so ready to be straighter once they're not overlapping-yay!
 I think the 2 teeth I have yet to see much movement in are the bottom, left 3rd from centre-which is pretty much side ways and required all that filing last time! And the top, left, 3rd from centre-next to the snaggle tooth!! Come on you 3 teeth-keep moving!!!
