Thank you!

5oh9 - LOVE the rainbow. I'd be too scared to get that many colors at once. And...my ortho doesn't really seem to have any light/pastel colors except light blue. Thanks!! :P I've got 3mths left to go so I made a huge decision to go wild with the rainbow colours. Thankgod it doesn't look weird. Its ...

RAINBOW!!!

Braces at 4th and 5th month!

Alternate radical red and screaming pink


Alternate teal and plum crazy purple

I think it takes about 3-4mths to fully close the gaps depending on how well your teeth root response. I had 1 lower front tooth extracted in march and by June,the gap has already fully closed up. The ortho didn't use a powerchain to close but instead use a loop mechanics on the wire. 1st day braced...
