Well.... I am coming up on my 22nd month braciversary next week...
No talk about a de-banding date any time soon but I am hopeful that I am only about 6 more months away at most.
At my adjustment today, I got a 3/16" Medium cross elastic to begin wearing to try to lift up my tilted bottom right molar. It has been an interesting experience so far. I just hope it works! My bite is way off of that side...
I'll take pictures and post them tonight. I am sure I'll be able to feel any differences but I always like looking back at all the progression.

Haven't posted in a while...
Well I figured I would write a blog post since it has been quite a while. Not a whole lot has changed over the past few months. I did get a new bottom wire. .018 I believe with these little hooky things. Yeah, really technical I know. =] I am not entirely sure of their purpose yet. Any ideas?? Picture below.
Anyway, I am at 1yr 1 month 2 days in braces.
Next appointment is March 2nd
Still keeping my fingers crossed for no extractions. I wish he could just make up his mind already!

10 Month Update
Since becoming fully braced with all of my top brackets, my uppers have really changed! My ortho is still being conservative about upper extractions. No final word yet. He wants to see how the archwire moves the teeth on it's own.

New Hardware
I had an adjustment today and got these lovely coil springs. If they save me from having to get more extractions, then that is great but they sure aren't pretty. =[ I may still end up having to get more extractions anyway. Bummer.
I also got a heavier wire on the bottom with purple ligs. Also my upper ligs are Smoke colored. They said the smoke color would stain even less than Peal, so hopefully that's the case.

Some subtle changes
I am at the point now where I am more actively looking for subtle changes. I think things are coming along, just slowly. Unfortunately my ortho doesn't usually say much at my appointments so nothing exciting has happened lately. I did get a heavier upper wire this last time. I've been feeling the soreness ever since! Things better be happening in there! =P
