Your teeth look awesome! I wish I would have thought to take pics after every adjustment Oh well !
Damon 2's top and bottom, BRACED 02/22/04 and REMOVED 08/29/05. Now in bonded retainers (top and bottom) :4 wisdom teeth surgically removed on 12/22/05:
Thanks people I didn't realize how big my gap was until I saw my last pic. I have about a year to go, I can't wait. Btw, a piece of my powerchain popped in the back, does anyone know if that should affect treatment dramatically? I just got them on a couple of days ago
I've been taking pictures of every adjustment I have had, and I've been putting them on my blog. When i have days that I feel like my teeth haven't moved, i just take a look at the previous adjustment pics and especially the first day in braces. I have noticed the difference in my teeth.
THe rainbow colors look so cool. I went with purple this last time but I have more powerchains than ligs.
I missed your previous post about your powerchain--you may want to call your ortho's office on Monday and ask them since you only got them on a few days ago. It might affect it since they are used to close gaps.
thanks ratwmn. I have an emergency appointment tomorrow. The ortho said it shouldn't affect my treatmeant "REALLY". I wasn't comfortable with really, even though the powerchains on the bottom are the prob and I don't have gaps there. I'm glad that I get to have new colors so soon.
