Geez, I was really trying to get a picture in here, but IMGspot wasn't cooperating, so i'll explain to the best of my ability. The initial reason I got braces is because I had a gap between my 2 front teeth. The gap is officially closed and I have been told that the braces will come off in May of th...

I was instructed by my ortho not to chew gum, but before braces I was in the habit of chewing gum every day, all day (not the same piece guys). I chew Orbit gum by wrigleys. It's supposed to whiten teeth, it's soft, it's sugarfree, tastes great and not stick to braces.

maybe dark pink and dark purple.

thanks ratwmn. I have an emergency appointment tomorrow. The ortho said it shouldn't affect my treatmeant "REALLY". I wasn't comfortable with really, even though the powerchains on the bottom are the prob and I don't have gaps there. I'm glad that I get to have new colors so soon.

that's GREAT, thanks

Thanks people I didn't realize how big my gap was until I saw my last pic. I have about a year to go, I can't wait. Btw, a piece of my powerchain popped in the back, does anyone know if that should affect treatment dramatically? I just got them on a couple of days ago

in order is
1.glow (looks clear)
2.rainbow
3.blue and yellow
4.pink and purple powerchains
5.blue and grey powerchains

ENJOY!

In my opinion, I think you should whiten your teeth AFTER the braces come off. Why would you only be able to get your teeth whitened now or 3 years later? If it's personal, I understand. I also took into consideration that you said you have a "mess of a mouth". If you have bite problems, c...

Awwww, those are too cute swift. I bet you can't stop smiling, I know I couldn't!.

Trinity didn't buy the powerchains and "pliers" yet, she asked IF... I think changing your powerchains weekly sounds like a bad idea. I think if they needed to be changed that frequently then your ortho would have scheduled closer appointments. I think 3-4 weeks should be a good time to ch...

aww, i feel special. Those are my chompers. I now have pink powerchains on the top, and purple on the bottom. There is a picture of that somewhere on the forum. Thanks to those who complimented
