HEY everyone!!!! I just found out this morning I'm getting my braces off on may 4th!!!!!!! :D

I didn't forget about you guys... :) I've been lurking occassionally... but I went looking for (and got) a new job since last I posted and just was way busy with all of that. Plus after the first few months of getting braces the newness kind of wore off and I wasn't thinking about it constantly :)

Here is a blurry camera phone pic I just took at my desk at work. The guy in the next cube over probably thinks I'm crazy now :)

I'll try to get some better pics if you guys are interested.

I'm so excited!!! :)

Wow, it was very nice to see your progress photos and how swiftly those laterals moved. Thanks for the update and congrats on getting the braces removed soon! :D

they were pushing out the teeth on either side to make room for the teeth behind the coils.
