Thanks Linda, Kiwi and Miss Smiley! I think after so much time spent focused on my teeth, I notice every little imperfection - but of course I wouldn't notice anyone else's!! Linda - I think the ortho may suggest re-banding because when I saw him in February (a bit more than half way through treatme...

Congratulations (a little late I admit!).

Your smile looks fantastic! Sorry to hear you have to have some teeth extracted

Mmm, I've been pigging out on raw carrot as well... not as much gets served up for tea as I originally plan to...

Hey!!!! Ok, yes, I have been a very bad arch wired friend for neglecting you all :-( But... I am naked! Yay! They're not perfect - one of my teeth is still quite gummy and you might notice that the gum line's not perfect. My teeth are also not shaped perfectly, so the 'fit' is not quite right. But I...

Hi! It's been a while since I've been on too! (Linda I notice that you and I were debanded a day apart!!)

I've got bonded uppers and lowers. I eat everything, including fantales!

I'm going for my first follow up shortly... hope it goes well. Good luck with the flossing issue!

Hi Joney, glad you liked my pic of Canberra. It is actually quite dry at the moment- Australia is in the middle of the worst drought in a very long time and if our dam doesn't fill up a bit more soon, we will be on Level 4 water restrictions from the 1st of July- that means no outside water use at a...

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your comments, I really appreciate them. lol, so many people have told me they can't tell which tooth is wonky either! It's the little one on (my) right (the one that's got lots of gum covering it)- I know I'm being very fussy about it but after all the $$ and time, ...

Whoops- before I offend anyone with my "anti veneers and buildups for cosmetic reasons" comment- let me explain. I wouldn't feel comfortable having them myself but I don't see anything wrong with anyone else having them- sorry if I did upset anyone

Hi everyone! Well I am half naked which is a step in the right direction!! I told the hygenist yesterday that I wasn't happy with my top teeth and the ortho came over and listened to me, and agreed that we could bring the little "snaggletooth" forward a bit. Due to the shape of that tooth,...

Thanks for the pics! I got to see what my retainer would look like at my consult- another patient was happy for me to take a look! Mine won't be twisted, and it looked like it was bonded across all the teeth.

Not long now.....

Congrats Rage, that's fantastic!!

Hi Pixel Witch, and welcome!

Glad you've found an ortho that you like. I'm the same- I love mine, and when I moved I still stuck with him (so I travel 6 hours return to visit him but it's worth it!).

Best of luck with your journey!

Hey everyone!! Thanks for your welcome!! I did really miss you all and wondered how you were all going. I went for my 6 month checkup and clean yesterday. Among the many wonderful things about moving to Canberra is the fact that my new dentist has a hygenist! I had a lovely time in the chair getting...

Yes, I get ticklish gums! Not quite what I expected!!

I've had the molds done twice- at the beginning and last week, at the beginning of the end. I haven't had a problem- I read on this site to relax and breathe through your nose- and I did that and no worries! It will be easier when you get them next done as hopefully it means retainers are not too fa...

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! I've missed you all so much!! I have been offline for months now and tonight we finally installed our broadband so of course the first chance I got here I am!! Big news.... the braces are coming off on the 24th of May!! Well they should be, but I'm not 100% happy with my top arch ...
