Hey.... Good luck with your journey :) Six month smiles was the best thing I ever did! I had them to close a gap between two teeth on the top too (although one of mine was also slighty rotated) u had it on mid feb and off mid oct. so 8 months for me although my dentist thought they'd be off by aug/s...

Not been on in a long while you kind of forget about the braces and dont really have much of a focus on them after a few months. But thought id write an update....... Had the braces on for 5 months now. Just doing the finishing touches at the end of july, make sure all is good middle of august and h...

Before.....4 weeks adjustment and 8 weeks (just before adjustment!) so pleased to see such movement, the dentists are really pleased with the results in the past 4 weeks and hasnt put any extra wires on this time as the gap in my teeth had closed so much which is good as my teeth are so tender!! so ...

Hi jem..... Thankyou im glad to see some progress after my adjustment, seems to be happening sooooo slowly though! I havent really been given an estimate but assured that me and the dentist will both decide when we feel they need to come off be it 5,6, or even 9 months xx
