Hi Psychic, I also have a nance appliance. I've had it for a week and a half. I'm still trying to get used to it. It's kind of tearing my tongue apart somewhat. Salt water rinses!!! Congratulations on your progress!

Oi!
Those teeth are looking GOOD! Awesome progress I must say. Ur ortho seems to know exactly what she is doing!!! I might also need extractions soon and I'm terrified. How was dealing with post-extraction aches? Did they remove your arch and stuff?

Boa sorte with everything!

Oi Joanna20

I didn't suffered during nor after the extraction... and i never had one before!
My ortho removed some of the ligs and the bracket of the tooth, but that was all - she didn't remove the arch...

It was easy!!

Take care and good luck!

Hello again!!

Long time no see :oops:

I didn´t drop out of this forum, nor i gave up posting my history!!
I lost my wonderful phone / camera, and nevertheless i bought another one, with a wonderful camera, i never got it wright with my teeth....

But i think that you won´t mind, so i will post the pictures as they got from my camera... i just have to say that my teeth aren't so yellowish as they seem in the photos :shock:

So, returning to my brace history....

I'm still closing the gap created with the extraction, and it seems that my canine is moving towards his new place!!
My croocked teeth are getting, slowly into position!!

Ohmigosh, lookit all the colors! You are very bold. The colored ligs all look great. Recently I've gotten colorful with bright/hot pink. Frankly I love it. Maybe baby blue next time...

Lovely progress you are making. :)

Thanks Marzipan!

When i got braced, my ortho asked me about the colors i wanted to the ligs "do you want your braces to get noticed or not?", she asked me... i thought "oh well, it's impossible the braces not to be noticed so, what the heck... colors to be more fun!!"

And addicionally, as i'm a teacher, my students (1st grade), are the one's who say what colours i must wear!!! lol :lol:
