It's been so long since I've been able to post...I've been so busy. Everything has been pretty much the same since my last appt; headgear and all for about 5 months now, but my teeth are looking much better.

I had my adjustment a week ago, but have been so busy with work. Good news and Bad news. He said my progress is great and that i'm on schedule for the removal. im really excited about this. Today's appointment was about an hour long...but nearly none of it was waiting. After they took out my wires, ...

Just had another adjustment, and boy was I in for a suprise. He did so, however, that my progress was stunning, and was set to be released in as few as 4 months!!! He put in new wires with powerchains, and I now have a mouth full of elastics. I no longer have to wear the headgear, but he did tell me...

I go in for my next appointment in about 2 weeks. I'm very excited because I want to know how much progress i've made. When he intillay took my braces off I was very happy, but over time my teeth just seemed to move. He said it's never happened to him before. As for my mouth, it is still sore. I nev...

The adjustment was sure interesting...i'll do anything just to speed up the entire process. After the he took out my wires, is w...

I tried eating with my rubber bands today (as the doc ordered) and it was hilarious. I was drueling and spitting stuff all over the place. I'll have to work on the eating thing..hahaha.

I had my braces for about 2 years. It could've been a result in them debanding them early. As for the pain, right now it is immense. It defenently didn't hurt this bad last time. I cant open my mouth at all right now. I think i'm gonna be on smoothies for the next year. haha!!

Today I had my retainer check up. I was wearing an upper and lower hawley. I got my braces off about 9 months ago, and had gotten very used to the two hawleys. When my ortho came over, he got this really weird look on his face. He then took my retainers out, and looked some more. Suddenly he said, &...
