Well heard the best news ever. April 1st, no joke, my son and I will be getting our braces off. I am so excited. :jump: My dentist said it wasn't perfect, but as close as he thought it was going to get. So I got my pigtails taken off. Yahoo! :BigGrin: And had to take impressions for retainers. Whic...

The clicking did stop for me, but every once in awhile when I yawn big some weird pop sounds happens, but not to the point where I have constant clicking or popping. However in the are of numbness it has been over a year since surgery, and I still have a bit of numbness on the right side.

At week 5 on the dot I got lazy :oops: and really desperat...

Sorry to post so many pictures! :oops: Just thought it would be fun to look at plus thought I would try to post a little bigger ones, and maybe in better order! P.S. To the administrators: I must say I love the changes you have done on the site to help with posting, yet still keeping things safe! Th...

More Process!

Process!

What a beautiful smile. I so look forward to being done!

Okay so I haven't posted in a while, so here we go. My October 13th visit I was told I could stop turning the expander! Whohoooo a step closer to being done! :dance: I had asked my dentist if he thought it had accomplished everything he had hoped it would, and he said it was to early to tell. I was...

How exciting! It is sooooo fun to see the progress!

Wow! Before and after pictures are so wonderful! Your latest pictures sure make a person think and say it is all going to be worth it. :HugeGrin: Right now for myself, I feel like I am at a slight stand still where I haven't noticed much happening. The top has been where I have noticed pretty big ch...

My latest picture and being able to tell a difference in what the expander and braces are doing!
