im only 7 months into my braces, but im so tired of them.

i have to keep them on for 18 to 22months( what my ortho told me at the cons. ) I have to get rubber bands to try to straighten my midline. my upper teeth are completly straight! and look really good.

at my last appointment, he put to elastics on my canines to turn them.

I have another apointment monday, have no idea what they are gonna do.

I hear you braceface101. Feels like forever, no?
But when treatment is finished, I'm sure we will look back and say to ourselves that it wasn't that hard after all...!! Stay focused on the goal which is gorgeous-looking teeth. That's my coping strategy.

Godspeed!

Yea i get that feeling every now and then, but if i look at my before and after pictures i can see the difference braces are making and how worthwhile they are. Stick it out man, it will be worth it in the end.

My 9 months have gone by fairly quickly. I still have another 2 years or so left, so we'll see how I feel in another year.
