My Braces Blog, 17 years and waiting!!!!!!

Yep, you've got to floss or you'll wind up in a world of hurt.

Hi RahRahLuv, and a belated WELCOME!. I've been reading your blog and really love your positive attitude toward your treatment. Your smile is uplifting!

Congratulations on your movement so far. You must be thrilled!

Do try to make it a habit to floss EVERY evening before bedtime. I know that's a PITA sometimes, but establishing that habit now will lessen the possiblity of your developing cavities and/or gum issues during your treatment.

Looking forward to future pics

[RahRahLuv]

Thanks guys! I will be flossing every day now, I mean I do everything else I love the support on this site so much, I don't know where I would be with the braces without you all!!!

[RahRahLuv]

Now that sounds like a good idea!!!
Thanks so much for the info! I will go out and get one today and see how it works
you guys rock!!

Hello Braces Fans!
I have been off a while due to moving, work , school, and not much else going on that is exciting with my braces. I am glad my gap is closed!! But it seems like my bottom are moving faster? I am so comfortable in them now. I tried a new color this adjustment, lilac! I still get the comments, and the braces have been helping my dating life!!!! lol something to talk about!! More updates later!!

[RahRahLuv]

Thanks KK! Now I have a really cool before/after shot on this page too I havent posted in a while I forgot how to add pix!!

[RahRahLuv]

Hey gang! I am back! sort of , I finally got an orto appt, I will post new pix after my appt!!

[RahRahLuv]

It went good everyone! I love my ortho; he is such a good dude!!
I have been sort of broke with moving to Durham from Raleigh and all, so the joke round the office was," 6 weeks, not 6 months" lol
Well my canine is moving slowly, but I got a stronger wire on the bottom now. I love it! I am back on track with my ortho appts and will go again on March 4th. I don’t have a cam right now but they didn't move much since I haven't been. But I have missed you all and will post pix as soon as cams go on sale at Wal-Mart lol!!

[RahRahLuv]

ok,here is a pix I like to call "rework". my teeth look the same to me but my gosh they hurt! I have a tack on my cainine to help bring it down a little, you cant see it ( not a good pix) but I can tell it is working. DONT SKIP YOUR ORTHO APPOINTMENTS PEOPLE!!!!!



This was 4 months ago, can anyone besides me not tell the differnce??

[RahRahLuv]

Hello all Long time! I went today and finally got some new pix and a worthy update lol...
My canine is coming down nicely but painfully, and now I got my 1st power chain! I think when the 3 front teeth move, I will look totally different! I am still so happy with my brace decision and think of it every day I am so glad I am braced!!!! Sorry the pix are a little large lol



Before 7/2007...
