I'm naked!! (well semi - I will get to that) My braces came off this morning after all :D I'm really happy with the results, they are not cosmetically perfect because my teeth weren't exactly right in shape and size, but I'm so grateful and pleased with the results. The debonding process wasn't too ...

In an hour and a half I will know if my braces are coming off today!! I'm so excited but trying not to be as it might be a few more weeks yet if they do the final reshaping today. I have booked a holiday for 26th August and I want them off for that so if they can do the reshaping and I can get debon...

Hi all I had a fustrating appointment with my ortho last week. I arrived at the hopspital and they couldn't find my appoinment, it turned out they had cancelled it because my ortho had fallen down the stairs! (she ok, just) Anyway I batted my eyelashes :) and got seen by someone else, they did most ...

Well I had another adjustments last week and everything is still on target for debonding NEXT MONTH!!! :D :D :D :D I've had some minor reshaping (slenderising) of my front teeth and more to come next time.

I have a headache, jaw ache, tooth ache and ear ache from my new elastic configuration today, they were like yours but now they are both going in the same direction, looks weird! My results are still no where as good as yours and I've been braced ages longer! Not fair! I hope elastics don't have cal...

Thank you Brika! I hope you're right! Been to the orthos today. The gaps on my lower arch are closing nicely, the upper arch has closed 3mm but the biggest gap hasn't closed much so I have had a lump of cement put in to stop my molars meeting which may help. I also have a new elastic on that side, I...

Thanks for your reply, I don't remember ever being warned that this could happen before I started, however it wouldn't have stopped me and if this is the only negative side effect it's not so bad I guess. Hopefully you won't be able to tell and my tooth will last like a natural tooth?

Thanks Melissa :) I went to my dentist yesterday (a new one as mine left) and asked him have another look at my front tooth that I suspect is dead. He did a vitality test and decided it is so I am having it root filled in a few weeks. Not had any pain from it, just noticed the slightly different col...

Wow Martin, incredible photos, you must be made up! I remember when you started your treatment and were so eager to see results. Any idea when you'll be having them taken off? I have another few month to go :) Do you know how can I improve the appearance of my teeth using Paint shop pro or photoshop...

I'm soooo excited! I had an adjustment yesterday, it could not come soon enough as I could feel my lower archwire digging in almost from day one and rubbing, I've got through so much wax in the last 9 weeks!! Well, the lower wire has moved 4mm in 9 weeks, so great going, quicker than the normal 1mm ...
