My mouth still looks like a train wreck.
BraceFace, just remember, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine having such a beautiful outcome. All the canker sores, ripped up lips, cheeks, aching teeth, food caught in the brackets, powerchains etc. were worth it! Hang in there!

Congratulations Kitty !

I can believe that the bitemarks in your toast were gorgeous. Your pic

here can lead a very happy person towards the exit gate of braceland.
Have a very happy journey here after !

Clo,

Now I'm in the world of retainer land! :lol: I think I'm going to lose some weight in the next few weeks because my upper temporary retainer is so snug and difficult to remove, I am not snacking and grazing all day. If I want to eat, it has to be removed. It's a pain in the arse, so I'm just drinking lots of water instead of coffee and bad stuff!

:BigTeethGrin: :jump: :dance: How exciting.......Congrats on getting your braces off early. You now have a beautiful smile and I know how much you will admire it for the rest of your life!

I had no idea that the damon 3s separated like that. I wonder if that is common.

:-88 Here's to your final outcome!

WOW! Congrats Kitty! Those pictures are such great documentation of your journey! I hope my bottom teeth look like that.....I have the same problem with one of my teeth behind all the other. It took the asst. a LONG time to get the wire throught that bracket! Hope it will all be worth it!!!

Blondie,

It seemed like I had to have that coil on my lowers forever! Once they were able to glue a bracket on that back tooth, things moved quickly. I'm still astonished at the result! :D

I haven't had them whitened yet! Isn't that amazing? My teeth have ALWAYS been yellowish (see photos of before). I nearly fell off the dental chair when I saw how white they were once all the glue and stuff was scraped off. My teeth have never, ever been this white before. I'm wondering if it is because they are healthier after ortho treatment?

I'm scheduled for a Zoom whitening at my dentist's office in late June. I'm going to need to wear sunglasses after that! My teeth will blind people!!! 8)

Wow-za!

Hi Kitty~
Your smile is perfect! Beautiful! Congrats! Please let us know how the Zoom whitening turns out. I was thinking about doing it also. Is there
a waiting time after removal to have it done?
I think I'll try the box of Whitestrips Premium Plus that I've already purchased-if they don't work, I'm going to try the Zoom or Brite Smile.
Have fun with your new smile!
:D
