Its been a while since I've posted. I've plodding along lurking and finding out more and frankly quite fed up of these things. Now I am about to have the top braces off and I'm conflicted about how I feel. I do want to thank you all for helping me through the the process from spacers to now. The advice and pictures have given me hope and brought me to the point. Take heart those of you just started. the time does move faster than you realize.
I do appreciate this board but I honestly can't wait to be on the other side on the Life after braces section!
