Beautiful smile!

What you are going thru is perfectly normal. I think we all woke up the next morning wondering what the hell we had done to ourselves. Hang in there. It does get better. You WILL get over the embarrassment stage. Then you will start to notices changes and get all excited. Towards the end you will lo...

Wow! Fantastic results! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Your teeth look fantastic! Sorry to hear that you had such a hard time with the removal of the brackets. At least that part is over with. Now on to retainer world. My teeth felt weird for many weeks. I could not eat normal until just recently. I was surprised at that. My first top r...

Congratulations on your beautiful new smile! Your teeth look great! My orthodontist says 14 hours a day. His instructions that he hands out basically says to go to work or school without them in and then put them in for the rest of the day and night. Obviously I am wearing mine during the day also. ...

Congrats on your decision to get braces! You will be amazed at all the changes and improvement in your teeth in the first three months! How long is your sentence?

Looks great KayKay! Good luck with your debonding! Can't wait to see pictures!
What kind of retainers will you be getting?

Hi Uptown Girl, glad to hear from you. Life without braces is great but there is still the daily retainers to pop in and out. At least I can take them out when I want a casual few hours and feel normal again...lol.... My teeth are just starting to firm up where I can eat more things. They were prett...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am surprised how many people did notice I got my braces off and complimented me on my teeth. Brushing and flossing is so nice and easy. On a side note, on my golf league I got paired up yesterday with another lady golfer who has braces on. She is 68 years old. ...

Glad to hear everything is going good for you post braces. I can't wait fo my teeth to feel more stable now that I am in retainer world. My bottomed teeth still feel so wonky especially right after I take out my lower essix retainer (plus,I have the fixed one that is only attached at the canines). G...

Congrats and good luck! I still can't believe that I had braces on for 20 months and now they are off!! It went so fast! It was worth every moment of it. And YES, people have noticed that my braces are off and I have received so many compliments. Then they will ask me, "how long were they on fo...

Oh my, where do I start. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's motorcycle accident. How horrible that must have been. Best of luck to him on his road to recovery. Congrats on your wedding. I am sure your celebration in October will be wonderful and you will look beautiful! You have been thru so...

Great appointment. You must be so excited!

Can't wait to see your final result picture.

Here is my naked teeth picture. Sorry for the delay in posting but May is a very busy month for me. I love the way they have come out. I was not too picky about a few things (mid-line is off and slight over jet) but I got corrected the things that were important to me. :jump: I would encourage anyon...

I had my appointment today with my orthodontist. He said he feels I am not allergic to the essix retainer because if I did have an allergic reaction that my gums would be all red and inflamed and they are not. He feels it was from the poorly fitted upper Hawley retainer. We also trimmed down a few h...
