I’m so happy for you!

I can already see a ton of progress! And I’m glad you went with the traditional braces- I think that is a great choice.

I avoided smiling or having my picture taken for years. So nice to have confidence and to stop hiding!

Thank you! I am pretty happy with it all so far, even though I haven't had an adjustment since February, things are moving right along. Having my wire changed tomorrow, finally.

For those who are pursuing a mail-order aligner, my ortho told me I had grounds to sue the company I used since they did a lot of damage to my jaw and my bite, and I had to have my wisdom teeth extracted because of it.
