One year ago today I got my braces on! I can not believe how fast time went. I remember the day after I got them on I was wondering how I was going to do this for 2 years. Before I knew it a year has already passed!
I suppose you all would like to see some progress pictures? Ah I know you do, we love those progress pictures don't we. It is what keeps us going.

Okay here is a picture pre-braces:

Here is one just after getting my braces:

And here is one taken just a few weeks ago:

I am pleased with my progress. Looking forward to getting the chip taken care of and my bottom teeth evened out a bit. Of course that has to wait for when the braces come off.
I have more details about what is happening on my blog. If your interested click on the link below.
Sorry I haven't been keeping up but did want to share my progress and encourage all those who are just starting their journey that the time really DOES GO FAST!!!

Thanks everyone for the complements!!!! This journey has been exciting and encouraging each time I go in for an adjustment. My projected treatment time is 2 years BUT I may get my braces off sooner. I am trying to keep thinking that it will be another year so not to be disappoointed. Things have been moving right along. Thanks again!!!!
