Hello bracedagain,

I hope you are feeling OK with your 'chains'.
I just have a question: :roll:
Now that you are 2 weeks in with your powerchains, do you see any movements, any gaps closing? :wink:

Bye...Marvin

Looking good with the Christmas colors!!! The assistant asked me if I wanted them, I said no...thought it a bit much for a first timer...hehe. But I definitley would have had I known I would be in for a mini adjustment!!! I changed them from pink to navy blue and light blue...nice wintery colors...Looks like it will be a while before I get some of those powerchains.

OHHH...one thing I didn't mention before is the spaces between my canine and 1st premolar are waaay much smaller!!! I didn't even notice what was going on!!!...LOL...I was thinking that food was getting stuff there and it was my gums being squished!!!...HAHAHA...I crack me up!!!...

YAY progress for us!!!... :D :D :D :banana:

Teeth still a bit sore, huh? Those darned powerchains! Has it at least eased up some?

Good luck on your appointment on january forth. Again, no harm in telling your ortho that you're in no hurry.

And, we demand pictures, and soon, buster!

Nah...it didn't really hurt at all. Just felt like a chunk of something stuck there...not moving no matter how much I brushed or waterpiked...lol.

I think maybe next year I will do it up with some festive colors...hehe. I still got lots of time... :wink: :wink: :wink:

I'll post some week 3 fotos on Tuesday... :D :D :D

Wow 3 weeks huh? Man you will get to try lots of color combos!!! I want to go for the rainbow or at least 3 colors at least before I get some powerchains. I have plenty of time...or I'd like to think so. You never know what that orthodontist will sneak up in you...LOL...

Hi Ken, I am also looking forward to see your purple smile :D
Actually, I have started to wonder if powerchains can be used in linguals as well :roll: My ortho never tells me what her surprise is going to be for the next appointment, we don't go in much details about my treatment plan... But she always answers my questions if I have any :D

Awaiting your pics!

I hope your holidays were nice and I wish you a Verry Happy New Year with lots of teeth movements! :D
See you later! 8) Antsika

Once you get into the powerchain part you are sort of limited to just one or two colors. So get what ya' can before you join the chaingang.

Will do, will do...I've already decided to get the hot pink and red that I saw for Valentine's Day...LOL. My appt will be just in time...towards the end of January!!!...I might as well have fun with it if I'm going to be in these things... :D :D :D
