Hi Katt! Amaaaazing progess so far!

Question about your waterpik - how much was it and does it get everything between the teeth or do you still have to floss and such?

Thanks Melissa!

My Waterpik was I think 50 at Wal-mart and for the most part it gets everything in between. I still do floss a few times a week though just to make sure I get all the plak in between but most of the time when I floss not much comes off. I think the investment was well worth it.

I read through your story, your teeth are definitely on the move! You are going to have one pretty smile when you're done!

Thanks Chasity. I was looking at my teeth today and have noticed that my incisors are no longer even. One is pushed back a bit wonder what happened? I'll try and take a picture to show what I'm talking about.

Wow, your progress is great..I have the same issue with my top teeth but your look waaaay better than mine!

WOW, Katt!! Your teeth are definitely coming along very nicely! Your lowers look great! How's the power chain coming along? Did it stain alot? My clear ligs on my uppers stain very quickly...but my ortho. doesn't have the pearl color that I keep reading about on this forum.

Thanks Kristi... my teeth still have a long way to go though. You should post pictures it really helps keep me motivated not to mention shows the prgoress when I think there is none. Besides they're jus teeth we show

MissFashionista my first power chain that was clear stained like crazy, but it was on the side you really couldn't see so I didn't care. This one however has not stained YET. I wish I had a choice for color but unfortunately she only has the clear ones. Apparently they're stronger than some of the others the little o's or whatever are closer together with less spaces which = lots more pain for me. But hey it gets the job done right??

Hey Bracedagain! I will have to ask and see if she can do that. hopefully she can because I really am not liking the clear. If not it's ok she's still a great ortho and at least is getting the job done.

Katt,

Just wanted to stop in and say that your teeth are looking great, and thanks for your comment the other day too!

How are you doing with the power chain?? Ken definitely had a good point too!

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks Beckster. My powerchain is doing MUCH better. my teeth aren't sore anymore so I'm back to eating relatively carefree.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I know I am with the beautiful weather here in Vegas

Just stopped by to check on your progress. I can see a gap! how cool! Things are moving for sure.

It looks like from your latest pic that they also took the long coil spring out! I'm so jealous. I hate having my coil spring. I wish the space would magically open up so my canine could come down now! Oh well.

Happy moving to you. Wish you the best

young 67 I still have my coil spring

it's just been relocated to behing the canine. It's ok though doesn't bother me near as much as the power chains.

Ken Believe it or not I have never been to our racing strip here. Usually when they have events here like Nascar and all that it's so busy that I would rather watch it on tv. I have however made it a point to go down there next year when busch and NASCAR are back. You should come too, the weather is usually great and the cars are of course loud.

I don't gamble, probably because I live here and don't want to to go into the A recipe for clams casino. But we do have some pretty neat sites. The Stratosphere is awesome!! Haven't done the roller coaster but I did the Big shot which shoots you up the needle.

hope you make it sometime in the near future, but not in june july or august it's too Damn HOT then.
