Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers. It is just a matter of days but we are dealing with this crisis as a couple and I think that helps ease the pain and hopefully the healing process will be shortened. I know we will miss her at the wedding but I feel the bond with my fiance is that much stron...

Hi Flaka, Thanks for the input. A small civil wedding sounds pretty good right now. Wedding plans are going ok but it looks like my future mother-in-law won't make it. She has serious health problems and is not expected to live till August. I told my fiance that we could change the plans but both he...

Hi shiny, Sorry to hear about the bicuspid but that sounds like a minor cosmetic fix that shouldn't detract from the beauty of the bride. I sometimes think planning a wedding goes from one crisis to panic mode to the next crisis and the next panic mode. Are clear powerchains really stronger or just ...

I wish I could tell you what the gaps would look like in 11 months but I am not sure anyone can know for sure. At least your ortho is willing to remove your braces for the wedding mine didn't like that idea and encouraged me not to do it. I sometimes get caught up with the emotion that my wedding ph...

lucky in love- lucky in life

thanks for the kind comments re: the dress, I think that is the one. Had an ortho appt the other day and unfortunately they had plenty of elastics left in their cabinet and gave me my new allotment for the next month. :cry: She told me that I am making progress on my open bite then she will work on ...

Amazing how much your top teeth have moved! Checked out your BLOG- you are very pretty and when your ortho treatment is completed, stunning is a word that comes to mind. Good luck on your journey, hopefully it will be an easy one and the surgery will go smoothly.

Look forward to your future posts.

Hi Guys, I read the posts and can't help but become more entangled with my inner thoughts about my braces and my wedding. I have dealt with it from an an emotional level, from an rational (I think) level and sought the advice of others and have come to the conclusion that it is truly a personal choi...

A supervising ortho with crooked teeth- what ever happened to truth in advertising. I can honestly say that I am still very self conscious about my braces, especially in new social situations, but I have never regretted my decision to plunge into orthodontia and I definitely notice others who are in...

Hi Mara, Congrats on your decision and hopefully with the support of your fellow braces wearers your journey will be a pleasant and short one. Your teeth do not look all that bad but I am sure the end result will leave you with that dazzling smile you will be proud of for the rest of your life. As f...

Hi SR- Isn't this your second time with elastics? I have a triangle config which is the inverted version of yours. I get headaches from the pressure and they are generally a pain in the a** as I think you will agree. I was shopping the other day and the clerk was an older woman who noticed my elasti...

Laney'sBraces -I wish I could wait but it has been determined that I will have an August wedding. I know it is my wedding but there are always some accommodations that must be made. I have looked at some dresses that might be a little cooler since August will probably be like getting married in a s...

How wonderful!- Thinking you were going to be late and maybe not even get in to see the ortho and then find out your beautiful smile will be ready for your wedding. I almost cried, I feel so good for you. Send me your lucky charm. Your teeth have moved really fast and what an amazing difference. I w...

I really enjoy following your story and felt bad for you about the canceled adjustment. Between snow and flat tires you have had some bad luck. Your teeth have made amazing progress and look great. I can't believe you will still have your braces on for the wedding. We are in a similar boat, looks li...
