I am so happy for you. You had a longer road than expected to get to this point, but now I'm sure you're GORGEOUS.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!


(Did you get your retainer on the same day, or did you have to wait?)

Congratulations on being pregnant!!!

As far as the gap goes, I see why you're angry. You should ask your ortho what his/her thoughts on this gap and when he/she plans on fixing it.

Your teeth look beautiful otherwise.

I know just how you feel about the tender teeth! I was tender for the first week after my adjustment, but I can't say that I lost any weight. Some people just have all the luck ...

Good luck with your treatment!

Oz Kelly and Meryaten thanks for your support.

I recently had my premolars removed under local anesthetic and I only needed that afternoon off from school (no pain, but I had a mouth full of drool and bloody gauze), but I was happy that I had a weekend of cushion before ...

Wow c00ky, that's some amazing progress!! I envy you. You're halfway there!

Hi Sappu,

Reading your story, I was expecting the worst, but you have an attractive smile. It'll be perfect in no time!

Hi there,

I was wondering the same thing. I had my extractions done 11 days ago and I really feel like my face is slightly more narrow. This may all be in my head though

I suppose I should mention why I'm here. I always knew that my teeth were crooked. In the past year, I realized that I was getting old (approaching the big 25), and at my parents' urging, I began going on consultations for invisalign. Unfortunately, I was told by several orthodontists that I wasn't ...

Two weeks since I was braced. The story thus far: Monday September 22 - Brace day :-#) AND "By the way, you have a tumor in your mandible" day Friday September 26 - "I think the tumor is benign, and it is right behind the mental nerve foramen, if I perform the biopsy, I will damage th...
