The tops ones are straightening out nice and easy!

Just realised that those pictures are upside down! That's what happens when I post from my 'phone. Also, they look pretty gross. :FeelSick: Like you I had no issues eating after my extractions, apart from the odd bit of rice finding its way into the extraction holes. :soremouth: Now that I'm braced...

Well done on taking the first steps and welcome to the club!

How are you feeling post extraction? I thought I'd be miserable but I was eating like nothing happened by dinnertime

So here are my final results! All it took was 1.5 years of braces, a gingivectomy, whitening, four crowns and $15,000 ( :shock: ) to achieve this lol. But I'm happy and can't stop smiling! And I'm amaaazed at how much the 4 crowns on my top incisors match the rest of my teeth. Included a before pic...

Some fantastic movement in just a few weeks based on these pics - is it just me or does every other adult brace wearer get really excited when they see teeth aligning and moving even if its not their own?

Looking awesome mate!

what movement! them bottoms especially look amazing, you are going to have a spectacular result by the end

Looking wonderful Neil, I'm sure you are delighted! Only a few weeks to go :jump: Thank you. I'm pretty pleased I must admit and not long to go now. I think we have got to a point when it is as good as it can be and any additional movement will have an effect elsewhere so I'm ready to finish now. C...

Hi, What super progress, you are going to have a lovely result when finished. I quite agree, you soon start to care very little for what people might think but in reality, I'm sure most people are supportive and can see you are doing something really positive to improve yourself. Keep going with th...

Its been a while since I've updated my blog partly because I have been busy but also since the movement has been a lot more subtle Here's a snapshot of my extraction gaps at day 282 http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll173/ctatchuan/teethgaptop_zpsnf6hxyrz.png [/URL] Read more about it at my blog - ...

Wow so I guess its been a LONG while since I last posted!, I think definitely one of the things I have learn in the close to 10 months in braces is caring a lot less what other people think about my braced look which is an awesome feeling and is one that I can share for those who are considering bra...

Wow, looking great so far. Just got my Damon clears on Wednesday and still can't eat anything hard yet! How long before you saw progress? I also don't get the Asian comment Hahahaha. Hi Alex Welcome to the club I saw a lot of very obvious movement the first 4 months or so especially after I had my ...
