wow great movement esp with the overjet! I have an open bite due to nail biting ..I didnt know the diff. between an open bite and over bite..I always called it an overbite lol
hope next month brings even more movement!

phew good to know it wasnt a filling...and like everyone above me said take pics..I am amazed at my progress when i update my story..I dont even notice the change till I look back at old pictures..

Again...I'm lazy :) This is a double month update, to answer the questions yes the gaps closed...and yes i have a spiffy camera :) This is Feb, I had a new wire on top and bottom, class 2 on both sides of my mouth http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee244/zero_braced/P1000660.jpg http://i231.photobuc...

I'm not saying it's the craziest on here...but



I have a class 2, box, and a triangle..it makes talking super hard that is about as wide as i can open my mouth:)

Where ever I am at a party with people i dont know and i see someone with braces I talk to them right away..we trade stories on lig colors and how long we have left...I even talk to young teenagers :) when i am in a meeting with people I dont know and I have to talk I apologize because I have a mout...

Assuming pictures/portraits are going to be taken, you will want to smile in them. Are the brackets visible enough without the archwire in them to be noticeable in the pictures? Or will you be smiling with your mouth closed in all your pictures? I am planning on smiling with my mouth open, the brac...

Hey Ladyg, For me I had a wedding to go to that was two weeks before my normal appt I called my ortho and went in there for a quick lig change and then still kept my normal appt. you might want to call the office and see if that is something they can offer to you.. hope it works out and have a good ...

All four of my front teeth were pretty small but the wire and the elastics have yanked them down and they are starting to look long and normal..I'm not sure how small your teeth are, but you can always ask your ortho if this problem will be fixed in the course of the treatment or is something you wi...

I was going thru my case files and I found the pictures that the ortho took when I started in Sept 2007 http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee244/zero_braced/oct07.jpg and here is one I took today with my cell phone http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee244/zero_braced/march08.jpg (frogive the orange ...

the only thing that changed was when I first got braced my boyfriend was a little scared to kiss me..he was worried he was going to cut himself or hurt me..once I convinced him I don't have knifes in my mouth we've been fine :lol: I would think dating someone in braces would be a good thing, because...

I had a hot pink & purple powerchain..but I don't mind people noticing..you can try an off white or a pearl colored one..just watch the coffee intake (I drink coffee through a straw and I notice a lot less discoloring of the ligs) The power chain didn't really hurt all that much more then the no...

I don't mind going to the ball with braces, although I am scared I will look like a teenager! I was in a play a couple of years ago and people really thought that I was still in high school, so I can only imagine what I will look like in braces! HAHA I know what you mean! I recently decided I wante...

I have the Ceramic the only reason for the choice was that I knew I would be getting married in the course of my treatment and I wanted the option of something less noticeable... No one ever stares at my teeth to figure out what I have but I always get bright colors...and the only ones who ever look...
