Your teeth are looking so awesome! How exciting...not long to go.

Hi everyone! :-1 I hope you all are doing well and are settling into 2008. I just had my 3rd adustment and it went really well. :dance: Just a quick update to show everyone my progress. At this adjustment I got some stronger wires on the bottom and top arches and I got my ligs changed to dark pink. ...

Thanks LateSarter and KK . You were right, there was nothing to be scared about. I got a little nervous before I flew but being in the air is so exciting. I got window seats there and back because it's fun seeing everything so small. I got back on Sunday night and it was my birthday yesterday! I tur...

Thanks Karen . I wish my teeth moved pain free. My teeth are so sore at the moment. I'm still eating normal food although I can't really chew properly. I've been chewing a lot though and I think it's helping. The wire ties are annoying me so much too :( Wax helps a lot but I can only wear it when i'...

Hi everybody! :D Another eventful adjustment for me today. I got upgraded to stronger wires on bottom and top and boy am I feeling it. :soremouth: My teeth are so tender and it's almost like when I first got my braces on. This time I know what to expect and I can deal with the pain though. I got wir...

Hi Mona, great everything is going well for you. I had an adjustment today as well and my next one is January 17th too! Pretty weird huh?
Well, Good Luck to you with your braces and your school work and everything.

Thanks guys. I'll give them a call on Tuesday then.

Hi guys! I was hoping that it wouldn't happen to me but it's just one of those things I guess. :roll: Last night sometime my buccal tube that was on my 2nd molar got knocked off or something. I'm not entirely sure how it happened as I didn't feel it come off and I don't remember swallowing it or any...

Cool photos. I hope you get better soon.
I can't wait to see your updated teeth pics with your new powerchains.

CONGRATULATIONS LIONFISH!!
It must be so good to have naked teeth, and nice straight ones at that.
Brushing your teeth must be SO easy now.
YAY FOR YOU!!

Hi bracedagain ! Thanks for the kind words. I've been looking at your story and you're seeing some great progress too. 13 days til my 2nd adjustment, I'm really excited. I hope my teeth have moved a little bit by then. I'm used to the elastic now and I hardly take it out except to brush and occasion...

I have quite a few too. I just counted and it's 13 in fact. I already have an elastic and I'm pretty sure I'll have more. It's pretty exciting for me though cos I really want my teeth to look nice and be straight. Your teeth look pretty good already.

Looking Good Such amazing progress

That sounds like a tough deal you got there sungki. It doesn't sound too good that you're having trouble eating either, Karen's suggestion of calling your ortho is sound advice. Here's to you feeling more comfortable and being able to eat properly soon :flowerbloom: Hopefully your molars get enough ...

There was a bit of trouble with posting yesterday so I couldn't edit my post to fix up the photos but it's all good now! Thanks for the advice KK . I managed to clip a few millimetres of the wire off and it feels SO much better now. The wire tie is rubbing me something fierce but I'll just step up m...
