I was given an estimate of 32-34 months, but ended up having them for 39 months.

Thank you :D I am surprised that it took 39 months as well. But now that they braces are off they feel surprisingly stable. I think it took so long because with the self-ligating brackets I only went in every 2 months. But when I had powerchains and STILL only went in every 2 months, they lost their...

I've had powerchains on for almost 2 years and I'm getting debraced tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will have had braces for 39 months AND I AM FINALLY GETTING THEM OFF! :-* :jump: :dance: Been thru a lot since I got them on. My husband was deployed for a year, then when he got back I got pregnant and had a baby. She'll be 2 in a couple of months and has never seen me without braces. My...

Hello! When I had been in braces for about 9 months I got pregnant. So my I spent my entire pregnancy in braces! I already look young but with braces I got quite a few strange looks. My baby is almost 2 now and has never seen me without braces. But I'm FINALLY getting them off Thursday after 39 mont...

Thank you

I just got back from my appointment. I am now in month 35 of 32-34 month estimated treatment. SOOOO ready to be done! My next appointment is January 5th, and if all goes well I will start vertical elastics to set my bite. The ortho said that he might be able to schedule the debanding for a few weeks...

Looking AWESOME! I like the colors too. Congratulations

Tomorrow it will be one month since the last two got SPAM SPAM SPAMMING. It's looking much better :D And it feels much better too, like I have more room in my mouth. 02.04.2009 (The day I got the first PC's) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Calistamay/braces/IMG00127.jpg 06.15.2009 (The day th...

You look beautiful. Congratulations

Well your AHI is not too bad (above normal, and we've had patients with and AHI of 86!), so you would probably benefit from the surgery. I do precertification for insurance, and the UPPP is one procedure that insurance companies don't like to pay for! Make sure that if you have it done your doctor's...

I don't have those problems, but I do work for an ENT and we do the UPPP surgery all the time. Do you still have tonsils? If you do they may be hypertrophic (even is you don't have a sore throat) and sometimes just removing them can help the sleep apnea. If not then you should consider the UPPP. Wha...

It's been 15 days since the last 2 teeth got braced. Here is the progress so far:

I had my 3rd adjustment today, and I am now 6.5 months into braces :D I finally got the bottom laterals bonded, and a stronger wire on top, and a pink PC to start closing to gaps on top. I don't need the pink ligs on top, but I thought it was nice of the girl to offer to make them match at little be...

Congratulations! I think 34 months was the far end of my sentence (hopefully not any longer than that), but whatever it takes, right?
