Your teeth look amazing. I am still in the expander and in a week I go in to check it one more time. After that we go to braces (I HOPE)! I am so excited for you!!!

So, today I went to the ortho and we checked the expander. He said it was looking good but he wanted me to continue to turn it another 2 weeks. I expanded from a 45mm upper to a 49mm and I have a 1.5mm gap in my front teeth (pictures coming soon). I don't mind the turning, it doesn't hurt very bad. ...

Great that you got your braces! Thats exciting. I have an expander and because of it I have this massive hole in my front teeth.. I can't wait to get braces now. Good luck with your journey. I have 24 months of treatment and I just turned 22. Yeah us!

Thanks Karen! Yeah, my teeth are pretty boring compared to some peoples :oops: I enjoy reading everyones stories alot. :D I love looking at the pictures and seeing that it isn't what everyone else thinks about your teeth, its what you think! Update, SO I have had this expander in for a week now and ...

Screw him! If he can't like you for who you are then you are with the wrong person. I am sure you are a very nice person and from one girl to another no man is worth taking the comments. My ex-boyfriend told me that I was fat all of the time. It took 3 years of crappy comments to have no selfesteme....

WOW teeth look amazing!

Trail! Sorry, I haven't been around a while. How are things going? How are the teeth?

I just love you pictures! Sorry, I have been so busy the last two weeks. I miss everyone! Yeah, I still watch Biggest Loser I missed last nights, I went bowling instead

How are you doing? My expander was doing great but now it is driving me up the wall!

Update, So, last I posted my teeth were cracking and driving me crazy. I called the ortho and they said it was just the teeth moving with the spacers causing that noise :oops: They did tell me that if my gums continued to bother me I could take the spacer out since my appt was the next morning. Well...

I am down to the last three days of my 2 week spacers ordeal and my whole left side of my mouth is freaking out. Everytime I bite down or move my tounge to hard, my teeth crack. I feel this crack up into my jaw. Is this normal? It makes this cracking feeling and at first I thought it was just the to...

Well, I went and had the spacers pulled out. They did not come out easy and that was of great concern. If they don't come out easily they did not do their job properly. So then we tried to place bands. OMG that hurt so freaking bad. I can still feel the pain from it jaming into my right gums. She co...

Well, spacers are still in but tomorrow I get them changed! That will be nice. They feel hard and sharp on my right side. I still am having a hard time chewing but I have gotten more daring with my food. I have pizza for lunch today. I can eat the toppings and the crust is soft so I can mush it in m...

I have been reading your thread and I just think you girls are hilarious! I am only at the spacers portion so you are both my ginnypigs! :-** Pooh I am so with you on the TV shows! BIGGEST LOSER tonight! :D and tomorrow is Kid Nation and Gossip Girl then Thursday is GREYS ANATOMY ! :banana: I AM SO ...

I haven't decided what to do yet. When I told my boyfriend it would be two years till they are off he seamed bothered by that. Its weird because he normally jokes about the marriage issue. We shall see!
