Here are some pics before and with braces. As you can see - LOTS of crowding!

And here are some pics the day I got my Damon Braces (September 3, 2009)

Congrats on getting started mate. I'm so jealous!

Your situation isn't that different to mine so I'll be interested to see how you go.

Hey thanks.

Do you plan on getting braces?

Looking forward to seeing your progress. Your teeth are very similar to how mine started off. To see comparison pics, my blog is below

Good luck

Thanks for the encouraging words. I remember when I was just starting out and how much I wanted the experience to be over. Your smile is going to be great and the time will fly by.

Jiggawatt, congrats on your jump into getting braces. I have a question for ya though. I recently had an orthodontist consultation and he recommended I get 4 teeth extracted to make room for them to move around. Did you get any teeth removed prior to getting braced? It didn't look like you did in your photos. Thanks and much luck to you.

Jigga,
Just saw your youtube journal... and I saw that your ortho suggested 2 removals if there is no significant change in 6 months. I'm very reluctant to have 4 of my own healthy teeth removed. It just seems wrong to me. Looking forward to seeing your progress though.

I Lasro ----

No teeth extracted YET. My ortho mentioned that after 6-9 months she'll know more. She does not like to remove teeth if at all possible. I think her reason for wanting to remove teeth was to get my midline corrected.

LOL - the blue things is cement to keep my bite from hitting my brackets. I guess my bite needs correcting as well. They'll remove it at some point.
I'll ask more about that at my first adjustment on October 28th.

Hi Crazybeautiful,

Just looked at some of your pics on your blog -- and you are right -- your teeth look a lot like mine when you started out. This is really motivating for me -- cause your's are really going to look fantastic -- and your progress is awesome. Thanks for sharing those pictures with me.
