Wow so I haven't been on here in SO long .. So I suppose I have a lot to update on! Well I just went to another appointment 2 weeks ago and they started with the elastics blah I have to double up on the left side and a triangle on the right .. They replaced my power chain on the top and and changed ...

Thanks for the heads up haha I'm ever socurious as to what they have in store for me .. I feel like they may put a power chain on the canine to get in it's proper place but I have no idea .. I find out when the bottom gets braces as well .. Hopefully they don't decide to spring it on me haha P.s I'm...

Oh yes! Trust me !! I should teach how to smile with ugly teeth 101 ... I like taught myself how to smile a certain way as to make it look like my teeth were half decent .. And I hated close ups .. Or when ppl would make me laugh! But it true I'm sure everyone on here feels something similar to that...

That is so awesome!!! if my tooth could fall into place at the 5 week mark like yours ... ill be the happiest girl!!! i think i would feel alot more comfortable in my braces after that tooth is in its new home!

Hey Lewick! The changes in your upper teeth are so inspiring!!!

Geesh we are going to have to start posting disclaimers hahaha

Drink some protein shakes or drink those ensure meal supliments ... dont just not eat ... of course your going to feel weak!! Just try to give your body something to run off of ... even oatmeal or mashed potatoes ... soup and all that kinda of stuff ... look up "soft foods" on the internet...

Yeah totally, no one remembers anymore! arg I went into work today for the first time with them and everyone was like "ooo show us your braces!!!" its like ... uhgg is there a desk nearby that I can just sit under with a laptop for the next 15 months lol.

Yeah I'm finding I get disapointed too .. I need I expect so much .. But I guess it's like that saying " a watched pot never boils " ... oh well I have a similar sentence to you .. 12-15 months .. I guess not much is going to happen for awhile * sigh * =( at least that's what is nice about...
