awesome progress Kara!

your teeth are looking fabulous!

good idea browneyedgirl! well i've had my top wire changed twice now (my current one is much thicker than the first as well) my top teeth are pretty much straightened out now yay! the ortho said at my last appointment that i'd be getting a powerchain next check up. woo hoo! i've had the same bottom ...

i completely understand how you'd want to get everything all done after your braces off. i often think that way myself. though it doesn't always work in real life. hehehe d'oh! funny thing my ortho said to me though, he told me not to even bother with flossing with braces. i don't know if he tells a...

awesome news about your bite! well i had my adjustment yesterday. they left the bottom archwire on, and just changed the ligs, so that doesn't feel that painful. however they changed the top archwire and now my back teeth really hurt. not really on their own but it is so hard to eat! it was okay whe...

all i can say is: damn! lucky you caught it before it was way too late though! well this is enough inspiration for me to keep up regular dentist visits! sheesh!! i'm sure everything will be fine once your teeth have been properly cleaned and all that. i had 2 cavities by the time i was 17 but my tee...

make sure to take some pain relief, and eat a variety of mush to make it interesting!

hehehehe!!

how did your first night with your braces go?

what exactly is the removable brace? do you know why you need it 6 months before you get permanent ones?

sorry, i'm just curious!

awesome progress there!!!

good luck!!

hehehe i know how you feel!

you don't want to be a gappy crooked smile for the rest of your life!

two years is a tiny amount of time for how long your smile will look gorgeous after that!

hey vixi, i know what you mean about just wanting to get it done already! i got my extractions done on the 7th & 14th of december & then had to wait a month(!) before i could have the braces put on because the ortho closed over xmas! it was so annoying having to wait with my gappy smile! but...

hey nik, my braces are going really well! there's really no pain anymore & there's been so much movement i'm so happy! my sister was telling me yesterday that my top teeth are straightening out really well, i can't tell as much cause i stare at them everyday, but it's weird to think they've only...
