Hi HeadgearJoe,

I'm so happy to hear about your progress on your ortho treatment. From reading your posts, you seem to be so determined to have this ortho treatment be a success and you have been through alot during your treatment. I know you must be so proud of yourself. You're a great inspiration to other orthodontic patients along with people that are just thinking about beginning ortho treatment.

Keep us posted on your progress.
