I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. I still haven't figured out how to do the picture thing so I don't have any. Maybe I will have it figured out before I am done with the braces all together!
So I say the ortho on the 7th of June. I was so happy to hear that it looks like we are ahead of schedule. He doesn't want to say I will get them off early for sure (just in case we run into some snags along the last half), but he said he would definately say it will be closer to the lower time frame of the estimate. He had estimated 21-27 months. That means that I should have them off by March....barring any big problems.
Do you plan on treating yourself to mark the anniversary? I've been trying to think of ways to celebrate the milestones along the way. Somehow, just marking another day off my chalkboard "daisy chain" isn't satisfying enough. And another milkshake isn't that much of a treat.
