Okay here are some pics finally. I know I've been behind but I finally came through. These pics are horrendous because they are from my cell phone but that was my only option at the time. You can't really see but I have a spring coil on my left upper central tooth to create a gap in the middle. One tooth was behind the other preventing my teeth to straighten out. I had this spring on for March and April. This is what my teeth looked like. Don't mind the gum. Haha

I had my adjustment for this month already just days ago and I will charge up my batteries to my digicam and take those pics soon.

I know it has been awhile but I managed to take pics for this month. Here is my progress so far. There are some issues that are being addressed. My midline is still off and I had some small gaps in the upper left side of my teeth which explains why you see the "half power chain" on that side. I date the gum line on my upper middle teeth and I'm starting to see a bad stain under one of my upper brackets. This vexes me but I guess I'll have to wait till the braces come off this coming fall. One of my middle teeth is longer than the other and one still isn't aligned with the rest of my upper teeth. I just hope all of this can be taken care of soon. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks for the pics M1k3y!

Thanks Granola. I can only hope my teeth look half as good as yours. I think your teeth are top 3 on this site easily. I envy your gorgeous smile.

They sure are Miss Smiley. I've been keeping tabs of your progress as well. I hope your adventure goes well.

Well I do have an update. My Ortho was so impressed in my most recent visit that he says if all goes well I'll have my retainers next month. This means my braces will be coming off. Woohoo! This will put me at 2 months ahead of schedule. However if I feel that I still need some work I will go one more month. I currently have a powerchain across all my upper teeth and I wear criss-cross rubber bands on both sides of my teeth. I will post photos tonight.

Early release for good behavior! That's awesome!

Here are my pics from last month. Sorry I'm such a procrastinator.

As you can see the problem is still with my upper front teeth. They are still off and my orthodontist has noticed it. He has bent the wire and bonded a coil wire inside my lower teeth. I need to take new pics for my September adjustment. I no longer have the powerchain on my uppers as well.

Your teeth look great! Are you closed to being done? Looks like it anyway. Congrats.

Actually I am. I'm hoping to go visit my Ortho in 2 weeks to finally have my braces removed. So much is going on in my life that it's hard for me to find time.

Well I finally got debranded. I'm so happy about that. Here is the pic this morning before I got my braces removed. I was half asleep and tired so I just took one photo.

I haven't taken pics of my naked teeth yet but I'll post them later this evening.
