I'm pretty stoked. Unfortunately, the sides don't fit as well as I wished, but moving this month has prevented the necessary time needed.

Big UPDATE! De-brace day! March 14th. SOO STOKED!!

I got my braces when i was 21, and was soo stoked. I've wanted to get braces since i could tell my teeth were messed up but my dad kept putting it off. I am so very happy now that i got them. I have so much more confidence. At this point though i am just sooo ready to get them off, but i know i have...

Haha. Yayyy for getting braces! and with piercings. I actually got the monroe after I've been braced for a while, not fun cause i had a looped archwire that went up above my teeth to close some gaps, and it kept getting caught. now it still gets stuck behind my archwire but not too bad. It doesnt hu...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/BReana/spring.jpg Say hello to my new friend. Since I'm like a lil kid and aweful at wearing my rubberbands i got a spring..that's too big for my mouth. WTF? Who else ever had this problem. SOOON i will post a very long update with many pics included hopefully,...

Hey, I have recently been back on my bad habbit of smoking, and I should kick it, I know.. but just incase I don't.. Has anyone smoked through their course with ceramic braces? did it seem to make staining on the ligs worse than just food/tea/coffee does? I want to keep my ligs as clear as possible...

I'm a smoker with ceramics. I use Pearl ligs which seem to subside the staining some. I mean, they get gross but then they get changed soon anyways. haha.

Dont' worry, MOST of the discomfort goes away. My mouth felt HUGE at first then i got use to it, and my overbite started to come in. Then i had to find new ways to eat and get food outta my mouth. Foods to eat with sore mouth: Cheesecake Mash Potatoes Eggs Inside of a burrito [ground beef, beans, ch...

How exciting. I was wayyyy anxious for brace day. Don't worry about how you'll look with braces. I wondered that (thank goodness my boyfriend think braces are kinda cute, hehe) but then I'd rather be stuck with the wire than the teeth i had. I already have tons of confidence and love smiling in pict...

Yay. braces in 2 days. I'm a smoker so i got for "pearl" ligs vs clear with my ceramic braces, and i have fun with the bottom ones with colors. I found the pearl seems to last a LIL bit longer with staining. Whenever the assistant takes them off though dang do they look brown/yellow. Ugh. ...

Ok. So I have another year or so for a retainer, haha. But I've been thinking about talking to my ortho about his options. Most people I know got their bottom teeth Bonded. Which I'm thinking this is what I wanna do, Don't have to think about it, wam bam thank you ma'am. Haha. However for top I'm no...

I got ceramics on top and bottom. I was gonna get them just on top and metal on bottom. Mostly to put colors on them, and no one really sees the bottom, but they just did it on both. My ortho said it's more "uncomfortable" to have ceramics removed usually. Haha. (i love when doctors say un...

LONG time no response. Sorry. I've been really busy with school and all! I graduated Cosmetology school!! YAY :-88 And been quite busy with my band Speak EZ. I rap...haha. :singing: (ahem www.myspace.com/speakeznow) Soon I'll be going to California State Board to take my test to get my license for c...

I love your smily!

Be careful of the liprings and arch wire. I wanted my lip pierced again but I didn't wanna risk my $5000 braces for a $40 piercing. Haha.
