Well, it has been about a year since I have had braces. I am just thrilled with the results so far. My only regret is that I didn't do it earlier. My ortho appt was this morning and he said I am ahead of schedule and were are looking at November or December for a deband date. Either the next appt or after I will have some ipr one the top done with class 2 elastics to wear. I have been in triangles for most of my treatment and probably will be until the end. Here are some more pics. They are just from my phone but gives a good idea, I think!

Your teeth are looking great! I hope your ortho is right and you get your braces off ahead of schedule!

Wow, your teeth look amazing and it's a huge improvement from before you had braces! I'm 28 and just got mine put on 3 months ago - looking at a treatment of 18-24 months to fix an overbite and slightly gummy smile due to the overbite.

I can't wait to see your progress once I've reached status of No-Longer-Being-A-Newbie

Thanks for the positive comments. The ortho sounded pretty sure, I hope he was right. I just gotta keep wearing these annoying triangles!

I'd like to see progress as well. I hope it's been a good journey for you!
