Weeks 11 to 70

For this long period the rate of change slowed down somewhat and my visits to the orthodontist moved from weekly to roughly every five to six weeks.

By week 70 (February 2015) I was thinking... perhaps it will be finished by our holiday, (early June), by my birthday (late June) or by our next break (mid-July). But it wasn't to be.

With this work you have to be very, very patient and I must admit that by now I was getting rather despondent, thinking it would never finish.
