I just want to say your teeth will look great after this journey is over. I have been braced since August and have seen a lot of improvements. By the time our treatment is over I should be able to do tooth paste commericials and so will you.
Yay one whole month!!!! I survived...hehe...j/k...since there is not all that much more movement since the last pics...I just decided to post these...They show how much my arches have rounded out. The two teeth that ached the most...moved the most...of course. They were the ones that were sore most of the time, even when the others stopped being sore. My next appt. is in about 10 days...can't wait to get those Valentine's Day colors!!! I decided on hot pink on top and alternating red and purple on the bottom....woo hoo!!! Anywho...here are the pics I took yesterday...
The arrows point to the two achey teeth...

Your arch is rounding out and it even looks like your teeth are getting cozier. Toothpaste commercial here she comes! There will be a whole line of Turtlelove products to "Put that lovin' feelin' back in your mouth!" Can you believe how far you've come? It's AWESOME!!
Thanks for the inspiration the other day. I got so excited reading your post I had to look for my own changes. It's nice to have so many braced friends.
Thanks, Denise Can't wait til they get even MORE cozier...lol...
I so love the commercial slogan!!!!...LOL that's really cute!!! And you are very welcome...it's so differnt talking to ppl with braces than those without. I talked to some ppl from some classes we had together that I hadn't seen in a while and they just stared and stared...I'm like GEEZ!!! If ya gonna stare ASK ALREADY!!!...I didn't say that tho...LOL.
Even talking to parent with kids with braces is not the same...some things they still do get...hHAHAHAHAHA....

I had my first adjustment today and guess what?? .016 X .022 square shaped wires it is!!! Only on top tho. I got the same wire on the bottom. Something on the left side isn't doing what it's supposed to...bleh. I got more wire than I would like...I still have all of the lace backs. Metal ties got added to about 6 teeth four on the bottom and two on top. These ones are rotated. She said I will be hating her in a couple hours...haha. I'm not feeling much yet, which is good since I forget to take something before I went...
It all went really well for the most part, I got a funny assistant this time, we laughed and joked the whole time ...much better than the evil one. ...lol
So here are some pics...I got all three colors and it turned out better than I thought...YAY...
