My ortho said that I could do the bleaching overnight, but that some people are sensitive to it and if that is the case just do it for a few hours a day. I think I will prob do that as I dont fancy waking up in pain again, I have had enough of that over the past 20 months! I am sure yours will look ...

Well in about 20 hours time the braces should be off! I dont think I have been this nervous about anything in my life, just a bit scared that my ortho will change his mind (ever the pessimist me!), I dont think he has any reason too, I am happy with how my teeth look now, I just hope he is as happy ...

Well 9 days to go until they come off. Seems so close yet still so far away. Today was my 20th brace anniversary.

Hey, I know just how you feel. at my last adjustment my ortho said it was nearly done and that said that if all is good at my next adjustment (beginning of march) they can come off at the one after that, so hopefully that is the beginning of April. By then I would have been braced for about 20 month...

It seems odd at first, but I have been doing it for so long I have forgotten what it is like to drink these kind of things normally. I always carry a supply of stra...
