Re: Dan's Braces Take #2
Thank you! Getting them off was actually quick and painless. The metal bottom brackets were easier than the top as they snapped right off. The upper ceramic brackets can crack/crumble when they come off, so it sounded weird. The worst part was the smell of removing the glue as it smelled like it was...

Re: Dan's Braces Take #2
Thank you! Speaking of a holiday treats, my ortho and his staff are awesome. As a completion celebration, they gave me a caramel apple, various candy, and IZZE Sparkling Juice. It was like a surprise birthday party just for me. Caraway Orthodontics are the best. http://www.carawayortho.com/index.htm...

Re: Dan's Braces Take #2
Exciting news. I got my braces off today. My teeth feel so smooth. I opted to get both upper and lower permanent retainers. I will try to post a picture of my finished smile soon.

Re: How Accurate are Orthodontist's on Treatment Time?
I was told 15-18 months. I am almost at my 9 month mark and my ortho told me recently that it will be 15 months total, which is right around my birthday, so happy birthday to me!

Re: How many hooks do you have?
18 total. I have 8 upper (which are all In-Ovation C brackets with built in "hooks") and 10 on the lower (In-Ovation R with traditional hooks); basically cuspids all the way back. My 2nd upper molar on on each side are not braced.

Re: How long did you have to wear elastics?
I wore elastics (triangle on both sides to slightly close my bite) after 6 months into treatment for 24 hours a day. Then after 5 weeks (today), my ortho told me that I could switch to nights only.

Re: Dan's Braces Take #2
I hope everyone had nice holidays! I just had my 5 month braces anniversary. I also had my 3rd adjustment. New thicker wires on top and bottom. I believe my top is as thick as they will be for the rest of my treatment. I also got a power chain on top. Let me know what you think. Before and After: 5 ...
