Ken, I meant "wow" as in, wow you're soo far ahead of me! Here I am celebrating I made it to 3 months and you're at 22 months...you lucky duck you!! I wish I had a remote control like in the movie "Click" so I could fast forward through braces...lol, wouldnt that be awesome
I think your teeth are looking really great! and nice cars too I dont know much about cars but my husband is always in the garage working on his mustang lol..
How long do you figure before you get your tongue torture device? Although my expander is better fitted this time and I can eat without the pain.. OMG its still a pain. I can barely talk and it just feels so awkward in my mouth. I really hope you have better luck with yours.. and you have to wear it for a year??.. I was told I would have to wear mine 3-4 months.. im already hoping they have to come off early
Hey Ken! Rockin' rides you got there. When I was a kid back in the 70's my dad had a 65 Mustang convertible that was orange with a white top. WE LOVED THAT CAR!!! He sold it to someone and they fixed it all up and we still see it in parades. Makes my DAd cringe that he didn't have the money to do it justice.
Anyhoo, the teeth are coming along nicely!! Have a great day!!
First off I wanted to say that I found your little smiley there with the whip to be absolutely hilarious!!
Congrats to ya--looks like you've made some really good progress there, and that before you know it you should be lisping in no time, er ready for the "torture device."
Love the car pics too, btw! What years are they from?!
Keep up the good work!

We can celebrate our 2 year bracesversary together, as mine is July 14th. Great to see some pics of your progress, even though it's slow. We oldies have to keep reminding ourselves that every little counts - although in your case, the side gap closing will mean the tongue torturer, so I can understand you might not want the gap closing just yet!
The cars are looking good, too. I'd love to have a go in that street rod!
Great pics, Ken of your teeth and your cars!! My DH would love to have either of those cars .
Jr. finally won a race!! I was so happy he won but disappointed cuz I MISSED IT! I was at my son's go-kart racing so I was watching a race just not that one! Oh well, #88 rocks and I'm not gonna miss his next win(which will be soon!)
Keep smilin'!
