Thanks! Im keeping my fingers crossed that I get out of them a few months early. My right upper side gaps are closing really fast but left side not so much... I hope the other side catches up.

I am really fortunate. My dentist is directly across the street from my ortho. My dentist reccomends having the wires taken out for more access. It's kinda hard coordinating a day off of work though and coordinating going to the ortho..then cleaning the teeth....then running back over to have the wi...

Hey Everyone! Good news I might have my braces off by the end of summer rather than end of the fall. YIPPY!!! My teeth are moving fast and I might not even need Elastics. "Fingers Crossed" Here are some up dated pics...closing gaps now with upper and lower power chains. I got " I gues...

My powercahins are for closing my gaps....It's not that bad. I noticed less pain today then yesterday. I have notced that my teeth have moved A LOT in a short amount of time because the archwire went from not sticking out the backs to sticking out reeeealy far in 1 day. I will need to make an appt n...

Yah...thats pretty much the way I look at it... Pain=results. I wish I could have my braces adjusted every 3 weeks and get it over in 1/2 the time.. : ) I actaully know someone who is doing that. He works in the entertainment/cruise industry. I wonder if that is good for your teeth though? Oh well.....

I WISH they would glow in the dark that would be awesome!!!!! I like them a lot...BUT I don't like the pain I have had...UGH!!!!!! Im dreading the lower one Im getting on 3/27.

I was just told...."toward the end" of my treatment...I guess it has to do with progress?

AQUA is my favorite!!!!! you should try it if your ortho offers that color..it's really fun...Im gonna get that color again in May when I go to the Caribbean...It matches the bathing suit..: )

Baby blues here too....I got these in Jan. I will get this color again on 3/27 when I get my lower powerchain.....LOVE BABY BLUE!!!! turns mint green after a few weeks and still looks good....LOL

Hey there everyone! I got my 1st set of power chains this morning..YOW they hurt!!!!!! Uppers only they said beacause I got a 20 lower archwire that they reccomend I come in in 4 wks for the lower powerchain not to OVER-do it on the lowers all at once......Im all for that.: ) I got a Lime green powe...

Yah I do have Shelly Marsh moments now and then. Im charging my camara battery right now so I will definitely post new pics today.

Hello Everyone! It has definitely been a while since I have posted anything. I guess mainly becuase not much was really going on with my braces. It took a long time 1/2 of my sentence to get my deep bite corrected and this morning I had my very back molar brackets put on "very sore today" ...

Same here...I love adding a bit of juice to seltzer water. I still get the taste im looking for but less sugar. Afterward a swish with water and a good brushing. I just had my teeth cleaned "my 6 month cleaning" 1st time w/braces and my dentist said I was doing great...no cavaties thank Go...

All I have heard so far is power lines being blown down from the winds and causing the fires to ignite. I have yet to hear anything about arson. Although it crosses my mind whenever we hear on the news that santa ana winds are coming that some sick pyro will start fires because they now they will ta...
