Yesterday, I visited my orthodontist, and because it's nearly Christmas, he only did some small adjustments and changed the elastics which hold the wire onto the bracket.
He assessed my front teeth which still seem to be slanting to my right a bit, although they have improved. Early next year, I'm going back to have the final wire replaced, and he said that he might polish (or reproximate) between my front teeth and across the bottom to give the illusion that they are straighter. I hope that it works!
