Now, I don't know why my mouth looks enormous, and why my lips look like sausages, but I'm grateful to Jim for taking the picture all the same. I love how you can really see the difference between the coffee-and-curry-colored rubber bands on the bottom teeth and my new clear bands on the top. Of course my teeth still look crooked, but it's progress from this:
Not to mention - my front teeth on top? The ones I see disappearing in photographs? Look how much of an arch they're coming into:
(remember, we're looking at the top teeth, not the still-very-crooked bottom teeth). My DDS was completely enthusiastic with how fast things were moving. I wish I had a copy of his pictures; one is from inside my mouth looking up at the top front teeth - they are very, very crooked in that shot. The teeth actually angle into the mouth, instead of angling out as they are supposed to (and as they will!).This is, I believe, the first week when I can really, definitely, see progress. Hooray!
On another note, my book club is reading Bridge of Sighs and discussing it this Friday; I'm 2/3 of the way through and wanting to skip work to stay home and read it...so it's off to bed and book for me!

Your arch is really coming in - no joking. But is the curry color on the rubber bands from curry?
It's true, the curry color on the lower bands is indeed from curry. Typically, I don't think of myself as a regular curry eater. But the day after I got the braces on, we had curry. And I think I've eaten it twice or three times since then. The other funny part? I've been craving beets. I've also been drinking my coffee out of a straw. Ah, vanity.
I made pee soop for din tonight. think you could make your rubber bands that color?
