Ok, guys - let's think positive - our journey is moving along - in a few weeks it will be Halloween and then its almost Thanksgiving and gosh, Christmas is just around the corner and before we know it, it will be 2006! If you don't really count the holidays themselves or weekends or vacation time or shopping days - why, next year will be here in a about a week. Right? Right? Sigh...

.......Life does have a tendency to fly by.... although it may not seem it since getting the braces fitted! :?

I agree... think positive.... I'm betting it will go really quickly and we'll all have great teeth before we know it! :D At least we've all taken the first step.... it can only be onwards & upwards from here I hope!

I am with you. When people notice my braces for the first time they always ask "how long?" since I got them on. I say "I'm not really counting". It might make the time go a little faster if I don't dwell on how long it will be and how long I have already been in braces. I definitely don't think I will dwell on how long since I have a feeling these orthos really can't predict with that much accuracy. At the same time I am trying to follow all the rules so I don't prolong my treatment.

Time does go by really fast. A bit scary isn't it? :P

I agree. My dentist still hasn't told me how long my braces will be on and that makes me kind of glad, because I'm not dwelling on it. It probably makes time go by quicker.

I am positive. Well, almost.
A year will last as long as every year lasts.
This one will feel longer.
Expensive one too.
Painfull.
Sleepless.
Starving.
Frustrating.
Actually, I am not positive at all. Sorry.
