I saw your braces journey story and all I can say is ouch. Can you tell me about recovery time from that surgery? I have little/no jaw. I've always wanted to move it forward, but back when they originally wanted to do it, all they had was this horrid surgery where they take leg bone and move it to t...

It's kind of haphazerdously arranged...I have the four month or five update before I show originals, and soon I will get the original photos from the doc and will post those, so you c...

Mary, thanks...I'm a peroxide user. I rinse with it when done brushing by habit. My lips are full, the teeth are tiny and so is my mouth, and what happened was when they moved them forward, the braces hit the lower lip and well, it's self explanatory ouch lol. But thanks for the kind suggestions. :)

9 months, and yes. They irritate the skin still so bad that I have to wear the wax in front on the two bottom center teeth, because they've pushed the teeth forward and my mouth isnt used to it, still.

Update

May 16 update. Today, I got some new brace colors. I changed from bubblegum to a new aqua color which I truly, already hate, lol. Aqua, for informational purposes, gives the teeth a really neat YELLOW-GREEN hue. Ew. Here they are. They put in new bars to move them forward, and in the process, althou...

Help. I'm in so much pain.

I got the spacers out between my back teeth about 3 weeks ago, and had the brackets put on. First off, my teeth are close together, so much that it took 4 rounds of spacers, over a 3 month period of time, to get them to move enough to fit one bracket onto the lower back right, and on the left, he st...

More images found, December 2007 through January 1/1/2008

I realize we are going backwards, but here are some 12/2007 and 1/2008 images I found and clipped my teeth out of so you can see how bad they were. This was some 2 months after the initial onset of the braces, before banding in the rear of the mouth. Renee Just some images 12/2007 through 1/1/2008 h...
