Hi all, As you might recall (or see from my ticker), I am scheduled to have my braces removed tomorrow! I was excited...until Friday afternoon. I happened to go to the ortho's office to make a payment. I asked the lady who works with everyone's financing the best one to get my remaining payments in,...

Hey Linda! So I hear you're scheduled to be debraced in July! That is great news! I won't be too far behind you! Your teeth look really great!

Hi Ken! Looks like you've had a lot going on lately! Congrats on the progress with your teeth, as well as your decision to quit smoking!

Hi guys, I'm back to post my picture updates. Now, I realize that I haven't been around to update you on my orthodontic visits, so bear with me as I comment on certain changes that have been made as they are visible in each photo: My teeth in all their glory as of today. Since my last update, powerc...

Hi Jenn! Love the updates! Congrats on making such great progress!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around to post updates or comment in any of your threads lately! I've been so busy, I totally forgot about tracking my progress with braces online! Well, it's been 9 months since I've been braced...and they are scheduled to come off on AUGUST 7 ...I am very excited! My...

Hey jennandtonic, Yeah, the spaces in the top row were the first to close up! My first ligs were a light color...but they held out just about the entire time before my next adjustment. I don't know why this color reacted differently, but oh well. You should venture out...that's the fun part of being...

^^^Where do you get all of your smilies?

^^^I absolutely loooooove your smilies!

Hi Ken,

I didn't realize you were recently put in Powerchains! Way to go! Things are looking up with your progress...keep us posted!

Kiwi, I feel that certain aspects of my treatment are moving slowly as well! As for the Class III bite...comparing recent pics to pics of before and just after being braced, I definitely see a difference. Instead of an obvious underbite, I'd say that the top & bottom teeth meet now. I guess betw...

Here are a couple of pics after my arch wire appt. on Tue. 12/12: http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/3430/1206teeth2py4.jpg The stubborn space at the bottom is slowly being worked on. I've noticed that the bottom row has rounded out into that perfect U. I am no longer able to stick my tongue between m...

I woke up one morning last week with a funny feeling between my teeth. So I clicked them together...and realized that the tops of my canines met each other! Here are pics I took after I found this out: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7035/1106braces2ad5.jpg http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8885...

Things are going well with the new wires, powerchain, and rubber bands. There hasn't been much pressure this time around. I haven't seen much fast movement as I did with the first set of wires, but it does look like my bottom teeth are moving inward to sit behind my top teeth, as they should! I have...

Hi Ken!

Glad to hear that all is well. Sorry to hear that your progress will be slowed down some...but it's all for a good cause, and that's healthy, sound teeth and gums! Take care!
