Hah that's really good to hear Woobster, I'll live vicariously through this experience.

Thanks and also the best to you on your first couple days, everyone seems to say that's the toughest time.

September club, 2 down, 2 to go. :HugeGrin:

Well, they're on! Hope you like the before and after shots. I wonder if I will be able to keep up a photo journal...
Congrats Anedia and Woobster. Like you guys, not so much pain. It feels weird though. And, I can't bite properly anymore- one of the little brackets is in the way... eating will be interesting!

Sept club- 3 down, one to go!!

Haha I feel like the pesky little brother right now "Hey guys wait for me!" **Nerd laugh** :crazy: :GapToothed:

Well glad to hear you all survived, the past 20 days since I booked my appointment have flown by. These last few days seem to be banding together with a time slowing machine---the next 4 days will be made as long as possible...

You're welcome. I'm doing very well, thank you. My upper arch is pretty much aligned while my lower one needs some repositioning. I've been in power chains, which I oddly like, for a few months now. My next orthodontic appointment, on Monday, will apparently last 90 minutes. :shock:
