Your teeth look great and wow, those dimples!

Hey Lady!

Congrats on the debracing. That's fantastic news.

I am chuckling over the goodie bag full of candy. Every dentist should be so cheeky!

But as they say, without pix, it never happened. So bring'em on.

xx/oo, Jude

Way to go Klobird.

This is terrific news. I'm so happy for you. And what a bonus getting your molar bands off.

So happy for ya I'll even insert a smiley face thingy. Let's see so many to choose from okay here goes

All the best, Jude

Hey looking good lady!

This is fantastic Elle. HUGE cyber-hugs to my Canadian Cousin!

Hey K-bird, Maybe your teeth are on summer vacation? Har har. In 1.5 months I'll hit my 2 year mark, and I tell ya, the amount of movement these past 4 months has been outrageous. Tons. Especially (actually somewhat worryingly but Ortho sez okay) my lower front teeth. Well, all my teeth were pretty ...

Elle! This is terrific news. I'm super stoked for you.

Hey K-bird, It seems to me if having a tooth removed will speed the process up, and is being recommended at this point then it is meant to be. Iborg is one smart cookie. Er, person. If you can co-ordinate suggestions for the oral surgeon with your beloved regular dentist then its a win-win situation...

Klobird, you're getting good at describing how the Forsus looks & works! It's pretty tough without visualization, hand flapping movements, etc. Glad they figured out your left side rig was defective. Mine only had a problem the one time I broke it, from chewing too hard. That was months ago when...

Gray and silver are good choices, which most newbies gravitate to -- I know I did -- but they can be a bit dull and alas, a silver one I had turned bright yellow due to curry. I found Gray looked kind of chunky. Three weeks between appointments isn't much. I'd say the "norm" is six weeks? ...

Wow one year! Already? It seems like yesterday you were gearing up for braces.

Good for you K-bird. Congrats and Cheers! It'll be over before we know it.

That's great news K-bird. Honestly, you should lay down the law, and have the Ortho continue to do these adjustments in the future. As you know it isn't terribly time consuming. Let the office know ahead of time if need be. I'm going for my next 6 week adjustment tomorrow. Might be the biggie where ...

Great pix klobird. Something must been wrong -- I know, no kidding Sherlock! -- with the installation of the Forsus cos that's just whack. My Ortho is the only one who puts it on in his office. I noticed after the first adjustment he got "better" at putting it on. I don't think these peopl...

I had an adjustment today. I got the Forsus Appliance!! WOW. I. AM. SPEECHLESS. I really thought you had dodged the bullet. Klobird, you're getting the full-meal-deal of orthodontic service. Well I'm proof it's not so awful (ahem, on one side anyhoo - LOL.) No palatal expander? Hang in there kitten!

Dudette! You've caught up to me we're now both Jack Benny's age.

Have a great weekend.
