UPDATE.
ive been gone for awhile. alot of stuff has been going on. so..
THIRD ADJUSTMENT:
ive already listed it, but i just want to apologize for not having pictures, but i didnt have a working camera and my cell phone camera pictures were so blurry. but it looked ok. the top were pink and yellow, and the bottom was a regular pink powerchain. no real change.
FOURTH ADJUSTMENT:
in the beg. of august, not sure the exact date. i got light pink ligs again because i had school pictures coming up and i didnt want to try anything wild that i would have to cringe and look at the whole year, and hand out to friends, etc. haha. and i was supposed to have an appt on sept. 6, but my ortho was closed due to the hurricane. and my new appt is thurs, sept 22. and im 99.9% getting turquoise and lavender alternating on top and if i get a powerchain it will be lavender, but if not it will be the same alternating colors. so here are pics i just took today, and i apologize for the nasty ligs.
so my teeth look amazingly white.
a bit blurry. look at how much my spaces have closed!
and the upper.
and the left side.
and the right side.
and my new tooth! ill be getting a bracket on it on thurs.
no more spaces!
my current smile.
FIFTH ADJUSTMENT:
Thursday, September 22, 2005. CANT WAIT.

FIFTH ADJUSTMENT:
ok so i had my fifth adjustment today! im really excited! i got turquoise and fuschia and i LOVE IT. in natural light, my teeth look so much whiter with these colors! anyway, i got a bracket on my new tooth and kept the same wire size [.18] but i got a new wire because my other one was bent kind of weird, but sure! so i kept both the same wires, and thats all that happened. well here are the pictures i just took after coming back from the ortho.

so i have been gone for quite awhile now. but since my last update ive had two adjustments, i had my 7th adjustment today and my sixth adjustment i got metallic blue green and metallic purple alternating ligs..no pictures because no working camera/software. and today i got hot pink and lime alternating..basically a brighter version of pink and green..it makes my teeth nice. im not very sure if i can get any pictures anytime soon, my next adjustment is january 14..i think? and i havent had a new wire since my fifth adjustment.

kk..its your lucky day! i take pictures with my friends like crazy, so i managed to crop my mouth and now you get to see the metallic green & purple ligs:
sixth adjustment:
seventh adjustment:
and now an update.
eighth adjustment:
i got a new wire! finally! my colors are metallic lime green and metallic bronze. its great but it looks too much like the previous colors i just had and i really want something different. i dont have any pictures currently, but i should add them soon. i dont really feel like doing the whole pic thing because they look the same to me! and the new wire honestly did not hurt one bit! sadly, no news on the gingevectomy front. i really want it done for obvious reasons and ive been talking to my orthodontist.

Congrats on your one year anniversary...I had mine back on March 1st!
That's pretty awesome that you may have your braces off by September or October. Time moves quickly and that'll fly by in no time.
