Wow Nikki! You have made tons of progress! The gap between your centrals is half the size it was! And your teeth have moved back alot! Lowers look perfect! So jealous!
Thanks alot guys. I love the teal too...But alas i had to choose another. Im liking this colour too. It is a light blue/grey colour.
Sorry for the LATE update. But here are some pics from my last adjustment on the 22nd Feb
I dont know if i had mentioned breaking a bracket. But it is fixed now (well i got it rebonded at my last appointment)
Thats all there is really. Nothing new to tell.
SO i just realized that today is a full 9 months now in braces. So this is a progress photo from day one to now...All my adjustments
Hope you enjoy. I know it was cool to watch the progress on an adjustment basic (mostly month to month)
Hi!
I just found your story and saw the before-after photos. OMG your proccess is simply amazing!
And the pink rubber bands was supercool, maybe one day I'll try them ;)
Congrats and keep going!
Hi BracedBunny....
Its not before and after pictures yet. I still have about a year and some to go...
Its more like before and current pics...or progress pics...
Thanks i love pink....But the light shade keeps getting stained quickly. Although toothpaste with baking soda helps restore the colour, its alot of work.
I have no idea what the ortho did to my arch wire (he took it out and put kinks in it) But boy oh boy Fri about lunchtime i was in pain. Actually had to take a painkiller. Which i havent done for braces or adjustment since after the first day with them on.
Thank God the pain has eased up considerable. But it feels like i got braces on for the first time...By teeth feels funny especially when the lowers touch the uppers....Its a whole new force/pressure.
It could be that i havent had anything significant done to my archwires in forever....But idk...
It feels like a WHOLE NEW wire.....
Well thanks for reading and for the support....
