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!
Kitty
No waiting period for the Zoom whitening as far as I know. I'm waiting until late June because it's the earliest appt. I could get with my dentist and we're going on vacation the first week of June. According to the woman at my dentist's office, you can't eat or drink any staining type foods like coffee, tea, soy sauce, wine, etc. the first 2 weeks after they do it. Didn't want to cramp my style while on vacation either!
Popcorn update: I've had 2 microwaved bags since they came off. I'm popcorned out!

Wow You look great!
What a feeling huh? Im so happy to see that your bottom teeth became so stright I have allot of crowding on my bottom teeth. I cant wait for them to strighten out. But I worry if they ever will. I have brackets on all of them but they are really jacked up and almost fighting eachother for movment space. Its the only discomfert I have had in my mouth.
You look amazing!

Seeing how great your bottom teeth look gives me hope
I'm sure you're going to have fabulous results too!
I never really believed my lower fronts could ever look as good as they do! The first time I met my ortho he said "no problem" regarding the lowers. It took months of patience and that evil coil poking into my lip, but viola!
I'd forgot how wonderful it is to bite into a big, thick Subway sub! I'm enjoying having my "new" teeth. Eating is so much easier because my bite is the way it should be!

WOW! Your teeth are truly AMAZING!! You just revved me up to get this going! HOW are they so white without the zoom whitening yet? I want some of THAT!
HOW are they so white without the zoom whitening yet?
Not sure how they got so white! I am being "Zoomed" this Monday the 26th, so it will be interesting to see how much whiter they become. My theory is that the orthodontic glue really made my teeth look dingy and having crooked teeth attracted more plaque. Now that my teeth are healthier, the color seems to have improved!
Who is that cutie Briley McKenna? She's adorable!

Congrats on your awesome smile! It does look like you whitened your teeth! They are so gorgeous! You are an inspiration to us all just beginning our journeys.
I have similar lower teeth and it was great to see your transformation!
Congrats again and enjoy all the crunchy food like popcorn you can!!
This is what we need to keep us going through the process!
