Welcome Back Pooh,

So what did they say the extra bands were for? I can see they are a little 'off'.....is that their intentions? I think your teeth are almost perfect and str8. Keep us all posted.

To be honest I am not really sure why I am getting them when I asked she said that once the bands are on and they work on getting them in line with the rest of the teeth it will act as a buffer to keep them all in line....

So what I heard out of all of that was blah blah blah

So go figure.... I am just wondering why I didnt get the spacers when I got the 1st set and I could have already taken care of all this at the beginning.... but thats why I am not an Ortho so they must know what to do........ RIGHT ?? :wink: :wink:

Hey Pooh,

Be prepared with some wax..........those bands in the very back.. SUCK!! They will eat the inside of your cheeks for dinner, and not leave a tip! I hope you do ok with them. I didn't at first...it took me a few weeks to get used to them.

Hahahaha it is work just to stay beautiful isn't it. I just can not find the time to keep up with beauty, I'm glad there are people like you who keep beauty alive for this crazy world. How horrid would it be to live in a world with millions of women who wander around like trolls! :wink: Keep up with the hair appointments because you look fantastic, even in the snow! I love the snowman wearing an apron.

Went for my first 6th month cleaning since having braces :roll:
Everytime I leave there I feel like someone just kicked my butt :-+

But I got lots of praise for doing so good and having no issues :D

Must say it is strange to get a cleaning with braces on. So I am good to go till August :wink: I asked if I should go every 3 months or every 6 months while having braces and she said see u in 6.... works for me :HugeGrin:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :banana: :rawk:

Spacers are out and had 3rd adjustment

I went today to get my bands put on a lets just say.... my jaw didnt get stuck..... :-* party lets party lets party....

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and even better news I got a thicker wire. (I kept going for my adjustments but they kept giving me the same wire) so I am guessing that means progress :pinkbraces:

I got the baby blue ligs this time :banana: I need to get bold next time and go for another color.

Well tomorrow or later I will post my new pictures (I would do it now but I am loaded and I mean LOADED with wax :soremouth:
