Well I had a great adjustment today!! I went in and got my bottom wire changed to a 17x25 I think they said... Anyway, I got my powerchain changed up top and my ligs changed to blue on the bottom. When my ortho came he was raving about my teeth and then he said that the next adjustment (on Sept 19th,) I will get fitted for my lower permanent retainer!! Im almost done!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! lol!! Im so excited!!!!
Wow Samantha your teeth and smile look awesome . And it looks like you will be done before you estimate time frame which is also awesome. I would be doing back flips and cartwheels. Congratulations
Got my braces off 9/20/07 after 19 months and 3 weeks. WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!
Thanks everybody!! I really appreciate it!! I dont know how I will stand the wait until I go to my next adjustment! The only weird thing is that I havent had elastics yet, and I thought that pretty much everyone had to have those! Maybe I will get them next time.
It's funny to see how some of you have names for your teeth I should name my stubborn lower canines as well.
I'm sure your canine will get lowered like the others! Good luck

Congratulations Samantha! Your smile is absolutely gorgeous! Way JEalous! Luv the blue powerchains! I've got a blue like that right now except its not quite that bright!
Congratulations Samantha! That's such an exciting time right before your braces come off, you're in for a treat! Your teeth look absolutely gorgeous, you're going to have a killer smile when all is said and done.
