I just made my ticker to go at all the bottom of my posts, since I now have enough posts for my very own signature. (Yay!) I was estimating 6 months since I got braced in January but it's more like 5 and a half months. The timing is perfect since I have my 10 year high school reunion later this mont...

I use Reach Clean paste tooth paste. The coating on it makes it stiffer than regular floss so I don't have to bother with threaders, which makes flossing go way faster. I use the one for tight teeth cause it's thin enough for my crowded lower teeth. It can leave your hands a bit sticky though. I sea...

2 weeks till my palate expander is gone
Ok, this might sound wierd but I'm kinda nervous about being without my expander. I'm wondering what it will feel like. I actually think I'm gonna miss it which is crazy considering that in the beginning all I wanted was to get it off as soon as possible. I wonder if my orthodontist will let me keep...

Wax at night is a good idea, it'll keep you from waking up with new cuts. For the first few weeks I put my wax on every night and after every meal. I've been in braces for almost 6 months now and I haven't used wax in months. You're gums will eventually get used to it and the straighter your teeth g...

Yes, it has been fast. At about 3 months it had come down enough that I stopped having to hide my smile. I think it was so fast because that tooth has been trying to come down for years anyway so once the tooth behind it was removed and out of the way it did just that, and of course the braces just ...

6 month pictures...Yay!!!
I haven't always been terribly unhappy with my teeth. In high school I felt ok about my teeth. My parents did not have a lot of money and going to the dentist wasn't a regular thing. Although my bottom teeth have always been pretty crowded and my midline was off center I didn't worry much about my s...
