Are you guys back yet? I'm cheering for you and waiting to hear about your brace day! =]

Haha I see you've kept count all this time! LOL Well I'm happy you have less than a month left, to pass the time I recommend not thinking about it too much (although I know it's almost impossible), so just keep yourself busy and when you already have like a week left (or in your language - 7 days, 2...

I wana see too! Where's the link?

had another adjustment today, with the ortho I actually like! Ands funny story.....but first, the replies to you all: KatK, I'm with you on this one, next time I see my primary ortho I will tell him staright out, because I know he MUST also notice how fast the movement in my teeth really is. Thanks!...

Meryaten, not at all. And by the way the ortho I was referring to in my first post, was a different doctor. He is NOT my reglar ortho but he saw me a few times. The ortho that is not too polite and social with me has been that way since day one, and this is why I staretd to dislike him, he was also ...

Seems like this thread got completely misconstruded and failed to promote the positive message I was trying to convey Cheating someone might not be the best thing to say if you are trying to promote positive messages. Ditto. I absolutely agree with you, bad choice of words on my part. I shall chang...

If you want to second guess your orthodontist's treatment because you seem to feel that you have unlocked some sort of code for tooth movement, that is your choice. Flauting it here is clearly going to draw negative responses and possibly mis-direct newbies. I am by no means, flaunting what I do or...

What an overreaction. You can get off your soapbox now, matey. No overreaction lionfish, just feel very strongly about people believing Doctors ALWAYS know best. I myself is a medical student in the surgical field and I know all about responsibility in the field and understand how so many professio...

I've never rescheduled an appointment. Who am I - a mere lay person when it comes to orthodontics - to say what will have been accomplished and by when? Just want to point out, your ortho also isn't god, even when it comes to orthodontics. Ortho's are people too and like people they make mistakes. ...

Lab, I understand what you are saying, but I am NOT the one causing my teeth to move faster, they move at their own speed, just do not see a reason to wait longer to get the next adjustment if what was suppose to be achieved at this adjustment is already achieved. But thanks for the concern and advi...

ETA: This is in no way a promotion of my behavior, just a confessio nand a shared experience, everyones exoperience is unique and very different so I do not suggest anyone do what I do. All I am saying is PLEASE, take an active role in your treatment, make sure you are aware the steps that are being...

Platinum, honestly I had to pay $3,000 for my top braces...and I don't want to pay any more, plus I should be done in 2-3 months (I'm really hoping) so there's really no sense changing it now, at this point of the treatment. Just really hope they're off by xmas/new years time, that would be the best...

Meryaten, I will try it next time. Things is my ortho is not a friendly type..I'm better off asking the assistants, they seem to tell me more things than my ortho. He just always had this tone that suggets " don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing" but it's not the fact that I doubt hi...

Hey thanks, Karen but it's not that easy! Since I ask my ortho at almost every adjustment, when I will be done he developed this answer for me "Not yet...you still got some time" and he never tells me stuff. :x But it's not my fault, I model on the side and I've missed some fashion shows a...

Anyonee?
