it's been almost 2 years since i put the braces on -- and the best news i got today was == it's schedule to come off next month It's finally going to be over
I am in my 30s now and had the ceramic brackets for about 18 month now...anyhow... i'm just want to give all those ppl who have a Class III or Underbite + Openbite some hope that IT IS POSSIBLE to correct it without any jaw surgery (cuz that's exactly what I had-- and it's all corrected now)
Hey KK don't worry the big day will come when your uppers willbite down in front of your lowers and then after that the biggest day will come and yet you will notice that your braces are off!

Congratulations, what wonderful news! I am also being treated without surgery and am happy to say that my upper front teeth are nearly in the overbite position after 6 months! Just need to turn a rotated lateral and I think I will be well on my way to biting down fully. It's an amazing feeling! Good luck to us all!
