Braces Update 2

Actually , i was supposed to do a blog post one week right after I have put on braces. Due to my laziness, i say why not do it right after my first month of braces. Today was in fact the third adjustment and one month of wearing braces . On 11th april which is the second adjustment, my orthodontist put on the lower molar bands and attached two springs on my bottom right side of my teeth. One is to maintain the current position, and the other was to push it to the left side to allow my hidden teeth to come out. I did experience some minor sore for about half a day after the adjustment and its nothing that i cant cope.
The previous major sore came from when i just put on the braces and i still can eat as per normal. After one month , they are already some improvements to be seen. My upper  protruding front teeth seems to have moved in by quite abit. On the bottom teeth, the spring seems to have shifted the teeth slightly left but not much. Not much was done today as the orthodontist uses the metal tie instead of the rubber ones as they have enough pressure to move the teeth until i required a thicker wire. Many months to go and huge massive gap to close. Looking forward to the next month.
I will upload some photos for comparison.

Some minor improvements can be seen. The top protruding teeth have moved in quite alot.
On the bottom teeth, the hidden right teeth have straightened out and aligned with the other two and the spring has pushed the alignment slightly to the mid line and created more space and the hidden left teeth.
