Jenny your teeth are awesome!!!!
Congrats on getting de-braced

Wow you're teeth look great! I can't believe it took only a little over 7 months. I'm now on year seven month one and get to find out wednesday if they finally get taken off! (: It took such a short amount of time, because the only thing we were fixing was my crooked teeth and no bite issues (I did...

The ortho comes at you with pliers and RIPS the brackets off your teeth!!!! Just JOKING!!!!! You will be fine. There is minimal discomfort, but there IS a little tugging to get the brackets off. Once the brackets are off, the ortho will smooth down your teeth where the bonding was. Congrats on comin...

Just curious ckrobyn, What kind of retainers do you have? Do you have more then one for the top and/or bottom. I am looking into having a bonded for the upper and lower, but I am thinking about asking for a second retainer for the top. Thanks for any help! I have a bonded retainer on both top and b...

I have to respond to this question, because from experience Essix retainers CAN move teeth. I have been wearing my top Essix 24/7 (except to eat) for the past 7 days. I went to my Ortho a week ago because a piece of the bonding had come off my upper bonded retainer and my lateral incisor had moved s...

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 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: http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l432/ckrobyn/Braces%202/IMG_0441.jpg Here are my teeth today: ...

I am so far over the moon it isn't funny!!!!!!!

They look wonderful, ckrobyn!! Congrats!! :D How was it getting them off? Hopefully it was quick and painless... Jenny - Yes it was quick....but not totally painless! I went in to see the hygenist first for a cleaning, and in comes the ortho with what looks like a set of pliers!!! :shock: He then p...

I can't believe it!!!! Here are my teeth with braces week #1 http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l432/ckrobyn/Braces%202/IMG_0441.jpg Here they are exactly 7 months and 2 days later... http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l432/ckrobyn/robyn_after001-1.jpg I am completely and totally in love with my tee...

It's hard to believe that my Power Prox 6 month braces story is coming to a speedy close :shock: I absolutely have to post a picture of my teeth - the results are staggering! For the first time in my life I have beautifully straight teeth, yes you heard that right - I said straight teeth!!!! I'm so...

My molds were done this past Wednesday for my bonded retainers!!!! I am getting my braces off THIS Wednesday :D My appointment is for 11:20a.m first with the hygenist for cleaning before the bonded retainers go on, and then for debanding at 12:00 noon!!! I am so going to have nachos for lunch that d...

Thanks Jenny :D I am pretty excited! I will definitely post new pics as soon as I am debanded. When I started all of this last summer, my main goal was just to straighten my 2 front teeth and get rid of the overlap which I have hated for most of my life. I didn't really care about my lowers, and did...

Molds for retainers on February 4th
