HI SunshineRay!
I have yet to see my grandbaby in person. He lives in NY and I live in OR. I will get to see him soon, as my daughter and her family are moving here in Dec. I can't wait!!
I love my color ligs I work in an elementary school, and the kids like looking at what colors I have and in some cases comparing my colors to theirs
As far as the smoke ones went- they were fine since I was getting school pics, but I really enjoy the bright colors- and I prob wont get the smoke colored again for quite some time.

Kids041...sounds like things are going good for you! How exciting for your daughter and family to be moving closer!

Next week is my 2nd adjustment. I am anxious to see if I get new wires. My teeth are leveling out really nice. So maybe it is time...I have no idea.

Not sure what color I will go for next adjustment..I make try the pearl top and bottom. Depends on the day I guess!

Anyways...the journey is still going!!

9 week update in pics...

Hope your pain is getting better! I am still struggling with the mouth sores/blisters/ulcers from my bottom brackets! Top ones have never done this.

Love your colors!

Wow ! I Love your Colours ! ! !

well only 19 more days till my next adjustment... I think there has been some movement on the top teeth. I am sure that there has been some on the bottom as well, but it is harder to tell. I DO know that my lower front teeth are rising up quite a bit and I do not like the way they look at all!! I know that it must get worse before it gets better, but I am not a fan right now. UGH!

here is a pic of the day I got braces for comparison.

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with my lower front teeth appearing higher than the adjoining ones. I suspect this is to do with the teeth rotating and not finding space and will mentioned this at my next appointment. Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on.

I too have one of my front lowers that is now sitting noticeably higher than the others! This particular tooth has been extremely temperature sensitive for almost a week (started with extreme cold, then room temp, then warm & hot). I actually stopped in to my ortho's office last Wednesday for a "peace of mind" visit -- hoping he would tell me it's all part of the process. He ended up taking the lig off of that tooth, to give it time to calm down. It's actually the farthest tooth back in my mouth, so has the most moving to do. I guess it was under a lot of stress, so he's giving it time to settle and will reattach it at my next appointment, in a couple weeks. He said it will not affect treatment time. Not sure why it's sitting so high though -- I now refer to it as "Captain Tall Tooth"!

thanks for the encouraging words . I hope it only gets better.... ugh....
