Update: With Pics! Good & Bad News!
Well, I'm back again. Hope everyone is doing great! I went back to the ortho this past Friday and got some good & not so good news. First, the good news, my teeth are looking great, just a little tweaking left to do, which leads to a mouth full of rubberbands. Bad news: I want be getting my braces off in August as I expected. Sure was hoping to go on my tropical vacation with naked teeth! Damn! Now it looks like October, which will be exactly at the 2 year mark. Oh well, not much longer!! Anyways, only my bite is changing now, so I can notice it, but you really can't tell much difference in photos.
Here are some pics of me with my rubberbands. These are extra-strength and I only wear them at night. They are trying to pull my molars up straight. During the day I wear some medium strength ones that run from my upper canines to my lower molars, which I'm not wearing in this pic!

Hey that's good news and good news! They are looking great and they'll be off this year for the Holidays!. Many of us here are just hoping they'll be off in our lifetime.

If I made you smile, my craziness has been used for good. Anyone who does this at our age has got to be just a bit sly of a full deck.
