Hi:
You are in a growing stage, meaning your bones are still developing. You probably fall under the type of patient that needs treatment in phases--- your jaw and teeth moving through the bone are set up in phase one to do certain movement/s. It is possible that your specialist is attempting to expand your arch--- and now is actually attempting to align the teeth in this Phase II-- Have your parents explain to you the treatment completion ESTIMATED DATE. Your orthodontist should have provided you with a complete treatment plan spelling this out to you.
Congratulations in completing your Phase I treatment and going into Phase II. It is common to see this -- many orthodontist today who trainned in the Phase treatment can accomplish tremendous results-- AND the results are TOTALLY worth it. Hang in there.
Sincerely, Tina
