Hi MuleNag,
I am just catching up with your progress. I guess you can never tire of hearing how awesome the changes have been..................so.........WOW, really looking fine!

03/27/07~ Chains again! That's good and bad....good 'cuz I'll see some movement again and bad 'cuz it already hurts! Oh well, I'm guessing in a couple days I won't even notice anymore. I was hoping for single ligs 'cuz I wanted to do pink/purple/yellow, but since I had to do chains I went with pink and purple chains with a couple yellow ligs in the back. The hygienists just love that I'm brave enough to do colors. They say most adults don't. Why not??? It's fun!!! I love looking in the mirror and seeing color instead of drab gray.

Pic time...
Then...

Now...

I'm getting close to a year now and it's so exciting! Maybe I'll try to get all my pics on a collage for my anniversary so I can really see what been going on in my mouth!

Thanks KK! I'm not very good at photo-editing, but I'm sure gonna give it a whirl. Hopefully I'll have something thrown together for my anniversary!

Amazing progress MuleNag! I like the pink/purple combo, and the yellow ligs in the back add just a little more touch of spring!

A collage is a great idea; I keep a log of all my monthly photos to see my progress side by side. It's very encouraging to see what's been going on!

05/01/07~Another adjustment down! Still have chains and still trying to get the extraction gaps to close. This part is sure boring! I love pink so I went with a pink upper chain and a silver lower. I can't wait until I can have single ligs again! They have many more colors to chose from!

Here are my before and afters...

And since my ONE YEAR anniversary is May 11 I threw together a collage...nothing fancy 'cuz my photo editing skills are not that good!

Thanks KK! I am amazed when I look at my upper arch pic...I never knew a little wire could make such dramatic results!

I'm glad you mentioned that you have "re-used" your wire. I thought that you were supposed to get a new one every time, but they just clean mine up and put it back on. I've had a couple new ones and that is 'cuz they changed to a different "gauge" wire, otherwise I get the same one put back on.

I learn so much just by logging on to this website!
Thanks KK!

WOW!

The collage was really neat to look at and see the positive changes. The colors were like a beautiful spring garden, brought a smile to my face!

Looking forward to your future fosts, keep up the good work.

Fantabulous progress Mulenag. You must be stoked!!!!!

MuleNag you've made some really great progress! The collage you put together is amazing, and it's nice to see how far your teeth have come. I'm about to hit a year and would like to do something similar, but I think your photo editing skills are better than mine! Your bite and teeth are looking really great!

06/05/07~ Another adjustment. Nothing new to report. I didn't take any Aleve before my appointment today, but I actually didn't need it! That was a first! In the past if I forgot the Aleve I was in pain in that chair! Same chain configuration as last month. My gaps are closing up, but there is still a a lot of closing to do.
I went with Red/Blue chains since the 4th of July is coming up!

Beginning...

Middle...

Now...

Upper now...

Lower now...

Wow, MuleNag! You've made really great progress! And so patriotic with the red (white) and blue!
