I reallly hope you get the news that you are lookiing for Monday. I've got to hand it to you. You must be extremely patient. I think that I would have gotten a pair of pliers and ripped them off by now if I were you!!!

Very happy for you Joe! :D You mean to tell me that you had them put on July 16, (not sure which year), and may have them off on the exact same day? Wow, how often does that happen!

Good luck. You've been a source of inspiration and amusement. I'm waiting for you book, "101 Things NOT to do in Headgear."

It sounds like it's getting close to getting your braces off. I think it's great that your orthodontist isn't trying to rush the treatment and it sounds like he wants your teeth to look the best they can. You've been an inspiration to me with your patience with the length of time you've had to wear your braces and headgear.

By the way, the green powerchain sounds like a fun color.

Keep us posted.
