There's some awesome improvement! I love seeing that even though it seems like it's going to take an eternity - there will eventually be some movement...slowly but surely. You're living proof!

And Karen...you have the CUTEST animations, I love them! :D

Thanks again for all of the sweet words, guys. After reading your posts, I'm definitely more inspired than ever to continue my treatment. What's even cooler is reading other threads with people who are going through the same things as me if not...they're a lot worse off! Some are teachers, some work...

I wonder when is the orth gonna fiz my 2 lower spaces?

I cant get in with the ortho until November 21st. I would definitely talk to your ortho. Karen's right...what if the wire was accidentally bent? This could slow the progress of all your hard work. Maybe you could get in just for a quick "look over" by your ortho? I know you said they're b...

Thank you airbraceface! I'm sorry to hear about what you went through. But I guess it's needless to say that it made you a stronger person because it seems as though you're a pretty tough individual right now. Especially with this comment: I would just ditch him on the side of the road. Which road? ...

I'm always surprised at how drastic results can be. $4000 for braces? I wish I'd gotten that deal! I'm paying almost $2,000 more. Maybe mine is a little more extensive. I'm not using the speed braces either, I'm doing the Damon system.

I love how your asking advice about whether or not to brush your teeth.

You're so daring!

:lol:

Oh gosh, you have no idea how many times I've showed up looking completely zonked out and horrible for my orthodontist appointments.

Thank you guys for the words of encouragement! I was laughing about the whole "kick the guy in the..." comment! And about staying well hydrated, don't worry! I've got that action all covered! I'm drinking so many bottles of water at work it's ridiculous. I only wish I could carry that much...

I'm nineteen years old. I'm originally from Eau Claire, Wisconsin and have lived in several places all over the midwest. I recently relocated to Winston-Salem, North Carolina and am working for a credit card company and slowly building myself a life out here. I decided (after finally getting a job w...
