MuleNag you've made some really great progress! The collage you put together is amazing, and it's nice to see how far your teeth have come. I'm about to hit a year and would like to do something similar, but I think your photo editing skills are better than mine! Your bite and teeth are looking really great!

06/05/07~ Another adjustment. Nothing new to report. I didn't take any Aleve before my appointment today, but I actually didn't need it! That was a first! In the past if I forgot the Aleve I was in pain in that chair! Same chain configuration as last month. My gaps are closing up, but there is still a a lot of closing to do.
I went with Red/Blue chains since the 4th of July is coming up!

Wow, MuleNag! You've made really great progress! And so patriotic with the red (white) and blue!

07/03/07~ Not much change from last month. My gaps are closing up, but nothing very visible is going on. I now have chains all the way across...the last few months they stopped before my last teeth. Definite pressure from the chain extension!
Otherwise nothing exciting...my ortho was happy with my progress and even gave a slight mention of my braces coming off soon! Woohoo! I'm in no rush, I want it done right, but it still is nice to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Here are the pics...again, not much noticable change and I was a day off from having my patriotic ligs on the 4th! Bummer! Oh well...I was patriotic until today!
I just couldn't do the same colors two adjustments in a row so I went all purple this time.

08/13/07~Another adjustment and a cleaning today! I love cleanings! I was told by the hygienist that I have the cleanest teeth she's seen on an ortho patient!
I like hearing that! It means all that time spent in the bathroom with my waterpik, toothbrush and threader floss is paying off!
They put a smaller wire on the top. Things must be looking good! I'm getting so excited that it's getting closer to the end!
They don't have a big selection of chain colors, but I did find one that I haven't tried yet! It's kind of a raspberry color! I can't wait until I have single ligs again so I can be more colorful!
Three months of treatment...

Now...
