Well, I'm back again. Hope everyone is doing great! I went back to the ortho this past Friday and got some good & not so good news. First, the good news, my teeth are looking great, just a little tweaking left to do, which leads to a mouth full of rubberbands. Bad news: I want be getting my braces off in August as I expected. Sure was hoping to go on my tropical vacation with naked teeth! Damn!

Now it looks like October, which will be exactly at the 2 year mark. Oh well, not much longer!! Anyways, only my bite is changing now, so I can notice it, but you really can't tell much difference in photos.
Here are some pics of me with my rubberbands. These are extra-strength and I only wear them at night. They are trying to pull my molars up straight. During the day I wear some medium strength ones that run from my upper canines to my lower molars, which I'm not wearing in this pic!
