I have not been able to post due to Hurricane Wilma. I have not had any power for a week now, but I'm hoping the power will be restored sometime soon. Happy Halloween to everyone! :smoken: I can't wait till 5:00 to get off of work, then the real party begins! My braces are coming along just great, t...

Good luck with your orthodontic treatment SweetSheena.

Hi MadeIn1984 & SweetSheena, thank-you for the kind posts and prayers. Made, I am sorry to hear of your loss, may you too find comfort when you need it the most. And yes, I must admit that when I feel very sad, it helps me to know that when we pass on, we leave all of the pain and suffering beh...

A friend of mine passed away this past Friday, October 14, 2005. His name is Chris, and he was killed on his way to work while riding his bicycle. He was trying to cross the median and somehow fell and was run over by a cement truck. R.I.P. Chris, my thoughts and prayers are with you, and your wife ...

I got orange tires for October, I thought that woule be cute and seasonable. My treatment is really coming along just fine, my teeth are really moving quite quickly! I saw inprovements in just the first month. Anyway, I still experience pain when I go in for my adjustments because of the upper expan...

Saturday, August 6th was my second follow-up with the Ortho. I changed my tires (that's what they call em) to hot pink. I think I may get dark blue next time. So they made my upper palate expander tighter, like 4 times tighter. I could not eat at all Sat night. We went to Chilis and I ordered a full...

Manda, you look great! Wonderful progress you are making, keep up the good work! Thank-you for posting the pictures too!

[quote="Aradia252"] So here I am now, in my first week of top braces. I have ceramics (there’s no way I would have been able to get braces if they were metal…. I would have hid in a closet for the next 2 years) and right now a tooth-colored wire. I have full metal braces, and I have ne...

Today is my 50th day in braces. I have already went for my first follow-up with the ortho on June 21st. I changed my ligs from silver to light blue. I liked the light blue, but now they look really faded, probably because I use Arm and Hammer whitening toothpaste and it must be abrasive or something...

Today is my 17th day in braces, and the small hole on the inside of mouth has gotten better. My mouth is used to the braces, and I have started eating solid foods again! I am 5'9 and I weighed in at 149 lbs before the braces went on. I weighed myself this morning, and I am now down to 137 lbs. I had...

Hey there Sam and Jenni, what's up? I'm happy to hear from everyone! Happy Friday! Yeah, it is getting better for me with each passing day. I read on one ortho's website in N.Y. that it is good not to wear the wax all of the time b/c then you can not get used to the braces as quickly. Well, I have h...

Hi, and welcome to the Braces Stories Forum. I am new too, I was braced on Monday morning, May 23, 2005. I will have these babies on for 24 months, or two years, which ever comes first. I got braced that day on a few blue valiums, no kidding! I was sooo mellow and cool with the entire procedure, I d...
