Absolutely amazing progress!!! I will freely admit that my decision was tilted in favor of going for it after looking at lots of pictures that people posted on this site. It became clear that the process works. So I was encouraged by this site and the people here. Thanks to everyone who shares their story. I'm sharing mine as well as I go along (not far along yet... only about a month.)

Nice guitar, too! Hmmm...or is it a bass? :wink:

I think Angel is a walking advertisement for self-ligating brackets. They are supposed to work faster and because of less bulk, they are said to be more comfortable.
