Epurica's journey with sapphire braces
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 4:31 am
I've been wanting braces for a few years now. Ever since my wisdom teeth began to grow and my front teeth became crooked. Long story short, I got braced on 15 december 2010 so I am now almost 2 months into treatment.
I'll post a few before pictures as well a some from the day I got braces and from 1 month. The estimated time of treatment was anywhere between 1,5 - 2 years. I chose sappihre because they're less noticeable (I will get married in september).
I'm a little bummed now, it seems my 2 front teeth are even more crooked now then they were before braces. I have a ortho appointment on friday, will talk to my ortho than. I sincerly hope this isn't a mistake and she knows what she's doing. I don't have braces on my lowers yet because of an overbite, I'll get them in 3-4 months.
Before:

Upper arch (looks yellow because of poor lighting conditions)

Day I got braced:

(the white archwire was not really a good idea, it chipped after the first week)
1 month into treatment:

2 months (excuse the yellow ligs, I smoked too much due to exam month in school):

Upper after 2 months:
