Same here...monday will be my 5th week and I've had my first adjustment this past monday...I don't really find it went by quickly though lol. It's nice that I am 1 month closer to the finish line but the thought that there are still so many months to go...brushing my teeth 5-6 times a day for another 23 months...oh my goodness!!

Ceramic top braces: January 9th, 2006
Metal bottom braces: May 1st, 2006
I'm probably a little neurotic, but I'm totally getting a kick out of the dental routine...
Of course - I had the worst dental habits prior to being braced, I brushed once a day and flossed maybe once a week.
So it's kinda like playing grown up now.
My husband thinks its funny how neurotic I have become about dental hygiene. Me with my waterpik, sonicare, prescription fluoride toothpaste, and superfloss.
