Hey Everybody,

I am nearing my ten month mark and had an adjustment today. As I was making my next appointment I noticed a sign indicating that my ortho was doing a website where financial, records, appointments, etc would be available for patients to view. Well I signed on to the website and I checked out my financial stuff. Still owe about 2250 bucks, but who cares because I checked my records for pics and x-rays and let me tell you I am so AMAZED at how far my teeth and bite have come. I only wish I kept my own pictures for progress because my teeth have moved SO SO SO SO much. I have to say every cavity filled, adjustment, lost or half eaten meal, and crappy night of sleep, and dollar spent is worth it. I only wish I would have done it sooner. I just want everyone who is going through a tough time at the beginning that it truely is worth the wait, money, and pain. It does get better. So cheer up loves,

Lovelyleo

P.S. I would post pics but I don't want to save my pics to my brother-in-laws laptop.

congradulaton on nearing the ten month mark in braces! feels good ay??

that cool that your orthodontist office does that; the online thing that is, I'm not sure if i've ever heard of that before and I don't think my office does that but that is cool. However my office just got a website up on the net receently so who knows, maybe they will be doing that in the future!

Yeah It feels GGGRRREEEEAATTT at month 10. I don't know what my ortho did yesterday but my mouth is so sore. I see two bends in the wire between my lower canines and premolars. She said I would be feeling it later on and she wasn't lying. I need to take a nap or something to get my mind off the pain.

I am sending along good wishes that you won't be in pain from the bends in the wire

Hey,

yeah it is totally worth it. For the first month i had alot of pain and had 2 cut up everything and only chew with the back teeth but now its grand. Im nearly at the 12 month mark and the change is unreal. The look straight already bu ive another 12 months 2 go so hopefully no more pain.

Def worth the money and even though i am an adult with braces i still feel more comfortable smiling now
