May Maybe soon is what I have been thinking about getting my braces off. At my apppointment this month, Dr F looked at my teeth and started taking down some notes. He said I still have spaces that need to close and power chains will be my friend for another month :( No color this time beucase grey c...

I will never again ask for a 2:30pm appointment. 2:30 is the time that the ortho's come back from their lunch break and start seeing patients. I didn't get seen until 2:50 and I was out the door at 3:20. I usually don't have to wait when I am early morning app, but this time smh.. i will never get a...

March 9th Yesterday was my first time getting my teeth cleaned and the hygentist answered all of my answers. I asked questions reguarding cleaning my tongue, wisdom teeth ect. The hygentist was great! I have absoutely no complaints. They said my teeth were in good condition! March 15th This month I ...

January By my count I have been braced for nine months! There have been some great changes in the beginning of my treatment and it seems like things have slowed down. On the 4th I got a new wire on the bottom and a wire tie on a bracket that kept opening. I had a power chain placed on my four front ...

This month I had another cleaning. This time my regular hygenist wasn't in and I had someone new :(. This woman poked and proded every facet of every tooth. Clearly she was doing her job. I however, was in soo much pain. After my detailed cleaning she asked my why my gums were bleeding. I replied wh...

I feel like I have come along way with my new besties (braces). I can honestly say that they are now so much a part of me that I don't remember not having them. It has been seven long months and I am ready for the final product. As I was reading an ortho's blog, he mentioned that patients always wan...

I saw this question and I had to reply! What I dislike about my orthos office is the smell. I have no idea what the smell is but I really dislike it. I really wish they do something about it. The staff- all awesome people! They are pleasant, welcoming, and funny! The wait- I never have to wait more ...

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9813/spacers.jpg (spacers are circled) I am back from my ortho appointment and I just had some spacers shoved in-between my second and third molars. I really hope that I am not getting molar bands placed on my third molars because these teeth are placed really clo...

We have the same type of braces!!!! I felt that I was flying through my wires as well. I just believe that my dentist is doing a good job and the end resuts are going to be great. Keep posting!!!

thanks! I am really excited that it is closing.

Time to update! Since the addition of my new wires I had developed a space in-between my two front teeth. I was horrified at this development and I had to keep it for an entire month. To me the gap seemed spacious, like I coul put a sofa between the teeth. So here it is :( http://img340.imageshack.u...

your teeth are on the move as well and you pictures are really clear! I take my pics on my phone and they are not nearly as clear as yours.

thanks! I can't wait to get them off though.

Today's appointment was a regular snore fest. I went in, got new wires then I was out of the office. Oh yeah, I did get some more wax. So here are the new wires http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/74/frontsept92.jpg I was told that these were bigger however, I can not tell the difference. They could ...
