Nope, sorry the cut off is 27...must be in basic training before 28th b-day.

My OS gave me the same instructions...strangely enough i idnt sneeze for about a month and a half after surgery!!

Welcome to the otherside...it will get better!!

It means I have had severe crowding both upper and lower. Every dentist I have ever seen has referred me to or said i should see an orthodontist. Over the past years either the military ortho’s schedule was full (more severe cases) or there was not one in the area. The military will not pay for Or...

I was unable to chew for six weeks! I did blend some chili up and it was FANTASTIC with some sour cream on top!! I have been able to "chew" for the last few weeks. I wouldn’t call it chewing though... i cant chew anything that is more solid than a Jo Jo...and those are hard to eat... i h...

Its funyy how stuff sneaks up on you...I just noticed today that the anchor point for my RPE on my back molars on both sides has caused some tipping!! I didnt notice it til today but it seems pretty significant to me. I would guess that the chewing surface is a good 1-2mm tipped out... For all you s...

Hi Yainnis, Miised your post earlier this month just curious if you followed up with your ortho about your front teeth... Victorio:to answer your question on facial changes. I feel like my face is different but my wife says that if I dont talk or show my teeth when I smile she would never know I had...

It is a true statement that you cannot go to boot camp while braced. Applicant's enlisting in any branch must have a letter from their ortho stating when the braces are going to be removed. You can only be in the delayed entry program for 12 months so if your treatment is longer you cannot enlist.

Chicago: It was done in a stepped cut off to the left between the 2nd and 3rd tooth from midline. My ortho calls my crowding a drawn curtain effect. Apparently my teeth are stubborn because none of my teeth have moved!!

Awesome!!!! Drinks on Chicago...Hopping in the car now, be there in 6 days

Great!!! Thanks for the news Chicago!! :roll: That prolly means mine arnt moving. I measure about 8mm on bottom and 12mm on top and thats jusst about the same as when i stopped expanding 20 Jun and 24 Jun. Ohh well... in a few months it will all be memories 8) Keep me updated Chicago, I hop that gap...

Crazy, my ortho said that if I were to have surgery now then he thinks 2-4mm forward for my lower jaw. That was his guess, but he said he couldnt be sure until braces had moved my teeth. Thanks for the info

Thanks AF104!! I think its starting to close, I used to be able to put my pinkey at the widest point thru the gap up to my first knuckle. I can't do that anymore without really applying some pressure. It just seems to be moving so slow Hopefully it will speed up!!

I have lost 18lbs in a little over a month. I am kinda happy as it brough me back to my ideal weight. Now if i could get clearance to work out....
