If that is $US, it is seriously good value. I hope your bite stays OK-that was the issue my ortho had about doing both.

I look forward to seeing your progress pictures.

yes that is US value and he said that it wouldn't change anything pricewise, it would just have to be done. Unfortunately I can feel changes in my bite already, I hope that it is not a bad thing later.

Well, today marks day 10 for me. I have minimal soreness, I can eat almost anything I want too. Today I chomped on lemon heads on the way to church... and ate a croutons in my salad and didn't even think twice about it. I also had pizza over the weekend and honestly I am now more worried about something getting leftin my braces vs it hurting.

So yay for finally over the process... ugh, but in other news, my bite is thrown off now. My top teeth and bottom teeth used to line perfectly up, the slits were perfectly together and now they are totally shifted to the left, and I hate it... but I guess it wll be worse before it gets better, I will post pictures in a few days at the 2 week mark and see what is changing, not much I'm sure. ;)

FOUR WEEKS AND COUNTING. I see movement everyday. Sometimes I feel more movement than anything. I guess I am doing ok considering I just got themon and eat anything I want, chips, candy, whatever, nothing broken and sore. :)
