I'm guessing that the next milestone will be quite a few months down the road, and that being when my teeth close together properly. I suspect this is a quite gradual change but I sure would like to know what it feels like to bite down and feel more than two points of contact between my top and bottom teeth... like all teeth touching their counterparts. I need to read the phases of teeth movement to see where I'm at and what to expect next. One thing they mentioned is putting bands on the back teeth eventually. I guess they wait to see if the teeth will do the work first.
