Hi Pooh!

I just finished reading your journal and I must say, you're very upbeat!! I love it!! :D You teeth are coming along VERY nicely, too :wink: . Sorry to hear about your jaw getting stuck a while back...ouch! I've only been braced 10 days(didn't need spacers) so it's interesting to hear of all the other things that are involved with getting braces.

I'm gonna tag along in your journal, if you don't mind :?: I love to see other ppl's progress and, girl, you're doing awesome!! :jump:
Keep smilin'! :)

OMG! I can't believe how much improvement you've made in such a short time. I must admit, when I saw the before pics, I thought there was no way they could straighten without pulling some teeth. But obviously, I'm not an ortho. And even more obviously, your ortho must ROCK! I will say, I didn't read the whole blog, so I hope nothing had been mentioned about a change in plan...as far as extractions go. But assuming there hasn't been, GOOD FOR YOU!

Hey Florida girl

Thanks for stopping by... and yes my ortho rocks :!: I went to others before him that wanted to pull 4 teeth.... :-+ But not this one he told me I was born with them and I should be able to keep them... he did do tooth slenderizing.... (no walk in the park...but was over in little as 10 minutes).... and if needed I would do that again over pulling teeth :wink:

Keep checking I love to add pictures. :-1
