After the previous visit to the orthodontist, the gap closed about a half a centimeter the first week and then didn't move the next three weeks. Instead, a the new gap between my front left tooth and the tooth next to it got bigger (I don't know how that makes any sense). Also, it seemed like the braces were pulling my front tooth on my right side (left side looking at the picture) out of my gums to the point were it was loose. I'm just over the whole gap thing already and want it to be closed.
I went to the orthodontist this past Tuesday (April 23rd). I asked about my front tooth being pulled down out of my gums. They said it was ok because none of the root was showing and teeth are going to feel loose as they are shifting into place. The hooked me up with a new track and new rubber bands to help the gap close better. They told me to come in every two weeks now instead of the four weeks that I initially did. Since then, the tooth started to move back up and the front gap closed a little more while the side gap grew bigger. I go back to the orthodontist in a week and a half. Still, the thought of a perfect smile is getting me through this.
Here are some pictures from today.
