Braces haven't been very difficult. I've had very little pain and the worst part of this entire process was getting two teeth extracted, and then it was just the local anesthesia (I have really bad reactions to the stuff, I won't even go into when I got my widsom teeth removed). I was able to get my wire put back on the next day.
It has been a little over two months and I think there has been a lot of progress.
Here are my teeth the day I got braces put on. Yuck! Inspire Ice brackets on top and regular metal on the bottom:
I had my first adjustment on March 31, 2008. They put a bigger wire on bottom and tied that tooth that was really poking out with wire, other than that everything is still the same (of course I got new ligatures and all that stuff).
Here we are April 4, 2008:

If I didn't know any better I would say that those weren't my teeth! I can't believe its only been two months! I'm supposed to be in these for about two years, I can't wait to see what I look like then!
I will continue to update at least monthly!
I’m jealous.
I always have quite a time digging rice out. That really stinks because I love Chinese fried rice!
