Thank you so very much everyone!!

Hello everyone!! Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I just wanted to share a little of my excitement, my braces were removed last Thursday. :lol: I also just wanted to say that I'm so very thankful for this forum and for everyone's encouragement along the way. It sure doesn't seem like 21 m...

Hello everyone!! I finally have a braces removal date.....July 3rd!! I'm a little anxious of not knowing how the process will go, but very excited!! I'll post after pictures soon!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Hello everyone! :D Just thought I'd give an update. My last appointment was Monday. He repositioned a couple of brackets, put new wires in and took out the thin criss-crossed wire on the top teeth (Not sure what it was called). I believe (really hope) I'm getting closer to the end. He's hoping to b...

Wonderful!! I'm so excited for you!!!!

Thank you so very much Fionisimma!! *keeping my fingers crossed*

Well, instead of repositioning a couple of brackets, he decided to put a considerably stronger wire on the bottom. I'm sure feeling that today. He also said I won't be getting the braces off in April. :| He said he could take them off, but there is still movement that can be achieved. I've waited th...

Wonderful, exciting news!!

DaisySmith: I will be sure to post an update!

Anna5: I wore elastics for 4 months and I'm expecting to have to wear them a little more before the end of this journey.

Thank you everyone! Have a great day!

Thank you DaisySmith!!

Thank you!!! I thought it would take much longer for my "older" teeth to move too. Don't give up hope; a period of time goes by, then one day you'll notice BIG changes!! And that makes this journey worth while.

Have a great day!

Today is 16 months since I was first braced! So I thought I'd get brave and share some progression pictures. :wink: The time has really gone by faster than I thought it would. :lol: My next ortho visit is February 10th. He is going to move the bracket placement on a couple of teeth that haven't move...

I'll give that a try, thank for the advice!!

I recently had an appointment with my orthodontist on March 26th. I've had to begin wearing elastics, in the shape of a triangle (from the canine/eye tooth on top down to the canine/eye tooth and the first premolar on the bottom) on both left and right side. The soreness isn't too bad, but the bands...

Your teeth are absolutely beautiful!! Congratulations!
