Well hello everyone. Just wanted to share my progress photos. This week will be 4 month in my braces and Im happy to say that my space is closing in. I got my new powerchain 2 days ago and it worked right away to close my gap. And while I still have a teeny bit of way to go to completely close it--I must say I am so content My open bite still has some way to go as well and my two crowns are looking quite out of place now. The first photo was in June (note how white my teeth look--darn it, I think it was the webcamera I used or something).

I'm jealous!
My front big gap hasn't done one darn thing yet! I also haven't been subjected to powerchains yet either.

Yay! I know guys, this is so cool Im telling ya those powerchains really do their jobs!! I can imagine the day when they (braces) come off Thanks so much everyone for your wonderful support At one point I thought nothing was changing and just a bit of patience & support was all I needed. Musicismylife, yep my ortho told me I will need to do the frenectomy and also get a permanent retainer afterwards.mtbrncofn, dont worry Im sure youre gap will close up pretty soon
hey lucylou, a frenectomy is a minor operation a dentist does to remove the frenum.
As per yahoo.heheheh Frenectomy is the surgical procedure for removing a frenum. A frenum is a fold of tissue that passes from the movable lip or cheek to the gum. Heres a wonderful link www.athensperio.com/fren.htm
