I have been playing around with different hosts because I find that they shrink the size of my photos and they are not seen clearly. I think I have found a solution. Finally! Now you can see the changes and boy! so much has happened since August. I never even noticed the changes in my upper centrals...

The tenderness I was experiencing has become less and I am doing much better. I took Advil once today so I know that I am getting over this rough patch. As promised check out the photos. Top - you can see the spaces between my laterals and canines. Compared to last month I think they have gotten big...

Today was better with regards to soreness, decided to try Aleve but I don't think it works for me as well as Advil...will go back to Advil tomorrow. I think powerchains are amazing! I don't believe it's mind over matter because I feel the changes. Before when I flossed, the floss would move freely i...

Thanks Karen - you can't see it but I have in purple powerchains... I was going with burgundy but decided they were too dark. I quite like the purple :D cawtt1 - Thanks for the encouragement, it feels good to make progress after my first month in braces. As for Dean we are happy he is gone .. we ca...

One Month Anniversary!!! Well, it's been one whole month and a little while since my last post, I didn't have very much to share. Today was my first adjustment and boy, was there a lot happening. I went to bed fine, and in the early hours of the morning I dreamt, or I think I dreamt that there was ...

Thanks Miss Smiley - We are slowly returning to everyday life but a lot of areas still don't have power and there is a lot of debris to be collected from the street. But hopefully we will be back to normal soon. ______________________________ Both my lower central and lateral incisors on the right s...

Well here I am at work, and my lateral incisor is feeling like it is going to fall out of my mouth! It is really shaking...I guess that means that my teeth are moving!



It is weird how this all goes, it seems like one tooth then the other. But any progress is always good!

I went out to work today and the roads are a mess, just up the road from me two power poles are tilting and one is totally down. That means no power for us anytime soon :cry: it is going to take a while for the electricity company crews to make repairs. On the way to work I realised that none one of...

Hurricane Dean update The hurricane has passed and we survived. It did not make a direct hit (which we are thankful for) it passed to the south of the island but the band of wind and rain extended clear to the north coast. So far no reports of any deaths but there is extensive damage. In my neighbo...

Thanks Laurie.. I will do my best to keep you guys posted. But all that is dependent on our power/telecommunications situation.

Karen - Acually the storm has not reached us yet. At the time of me writing this it is 7.45 pm on Saturday evening. We are not expected to start feeling the effects of the hurricane until Sunday evening and possibly into Monday. All the supermarkets and hardware have empty shelves, no one is taking...

I am coping, wax and salt water rinses to the rescue!!!!! plus 2nd week anniversary :D Karen - Thanks for the tips, I now realise that after being home with no air conditioning and then moving to a fully air conditioned environment must have been the cause of my problem. The salt water rinses helpe...

Thanks for the encouragement and advice jt2 & Karen It's been a couple of days since my last post. I am now back at work after one glorious month's vacation. It was great being away and now that I am back, I realise why I needed the vacation in the first place. This morning my first big challen...

Thanks cwatt1! So far so good no pain, no wax and no advil!!! I do have a little piece of wire in the back of my upper jaw on the right side that hitches periodically in my cheek. I should put some wax on it but I can't remember. Rice is my enemy! :evil: it is really hard to chew and it keeps gettin...

My One Week Anniversary! Today, I'm wax and painkiller-free, any soreness I have is bearable and no teeth are hurting, not yet anyway. It's been interesting week, I am a plus-size girl and these days eating is more of a chore than pleasure. I wonder if I am going to lose some weight during this jou...
