I'm Free! Here are my before and after's

#1 Post by ckrobyn »

I got my braces off on Feb 11, 2009 - exactly 7 months and 2 weeks after they were put on.

I did the Powerprox 6 month braces and I am thrilled with the results.

Here are my teeth in week 1 with braces:

Here are my teeth today:

I am in shock that after 40 years with crooked teeth - they are finally straight!!!!! :D

I'm on month 24 of my braces, so it's hard for me to imagine how it happened so fast! But they look super. I'll bet you can't stop smiling! :D

Hello!

First off congrats on such a beautiful smile!!

I just wanted to ask a couple of questions regarding the process. I also live in toronto and have been thinking about correcting my teeth. I was wondering if you could tell me who your dr. was? Also, I read your first posts and how u mentioned at the start how hard it was. How long did it take you to get used to them?

thanks

I am sorry it took me so long to answer some of your questions, I am not on here much anymore since I was de-braced :wink:

Someone asked who my dentist that did my braces is? I hope I can post his name here, as I have not read thru the board rules and I am not sure we are allowed to do that? Anyways, I will, and the worst that can happen is that this post gets pulled.

Dr. Mitchell Shields
Shields Dental in Ajax
(905) 428-0188

I am still thrilled with my teeth!!!! :D

It took such a short amount of time, because the only thing we were fixing was my crooked teeth and no bite issues (I didn't have any bite issues to begin with)

I see that your braces came off! Will you be posting pics soon????
