Great news! Nothing better than an early release. Now I bet you can't wait until that parole hearing, huh? Congrats on closing the gap. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on the GAP CLOSURE, Linda! And on an approximate date of 'freedom.'

Your teeth are looking good! And that elastic configuration you'll have to have sounds like LOTS of fun *sarcasm*...but it will fix your teeth, so at least you'll reap the rewards!

Hi Linda21! What an exciting post from you, and new photos! Your teeth are looking just fantastic. I'm so happy for you that your gap is gone, and that IPR has done such a nice job of helping to get rid of the black triangles. Best of all, to be given a real end date of six months (or sooner) is just amazing!

Sounds like the end is very near, linda. Hope the latest "detailing" works magic for you.

All looks pretty good. I think I can see what your ortho is trying to achieve with the murderous elastic. Hope it works!

Sounds like a good adjustment Linda, nice to know things are moving along and you're that step closer to finishing!
Good luck with this new elastic configuration, sounds challenging but you'll pull through and it will become second nature I'm sure! :D In a weird way I look forward to elastics and seeing the job yours have been doing in those photos fuels my excitement. :) Your teeth are looking very nice.

Here's to good progress for you Linda!
