Things are going really great! I haven't been on here much because my wedding is in a month and there are so many things to get done. I have my next adjustment on the 23rd so I will post some updated pics then!

Thanks for asking!

Things always get worse before they get better when you are in the beginning stages of your treatment. I am sure everything will get taken care of in its own time.

Ok, I need advice. I know I don't get many responses on my thread but I was hoping people could tell me what they think of my new temp crown. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8020/photodyk.png By reese3750 at 2012-04-24 This is the upper arch view: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/3414/photo1l.png...

You can still chew gum. Just make sure its the sugar free kind. It doesn't stick. I chew it all the time.

Well I was supposed to get my baby tooth fixed tomorrow but my dentist office just called and they had an opening today so I get to do it today! Yay! My appointment is in an hour. I can't wait!

Do you have any pictures of before? I also have lots of spacing. My ortho warned me up front that my teeth were on the narrow side and we might have some issues closing some gaps. I went through with it anyway. They way I see it, it will still look better than what I had. And at the end if I have to...

Looks good Violet! I love seeing movement. Its exciting and reminds me of why I am doing this. I have some sore teeth at the moment too. I hope it means they are moving!

I just got a cleaning last week. I had my wire in and it was fine. In fact when I told the assistant before hand that my teeth were sensitive she recommended a flouride varnish that they would paint on my teeth afterwards. She said that the fluoride would seal up my teeth and make them a bit less se...

haha, I meant you can't see much difference when you see pics from the front. That's why I only posted that view.

But thanks! I am super excited!!

Thought I would give everyone an updated photo. Tomorrow is my two month mark. I didn't take a pic of my upper arch until a couple weeks after my brace day which I really regret. You can't see much difference yet from the front but you can here. My wayward canine is now on the right side. It still h...

My fiance is wonderfully supportive about my braces too. I think its because he knows how much better I will feel and look afterwards. There are guys out there that are willing to deal with it. You just have to find the right one. And honestly, if they won't, they probably are the right guy for you ...

They did an x-ray at her last visit and she does have all her adult teeth up there hiding. And her baby teeth are a little wiggly but they just aren't coming out. I am definitely going to go the route of pulling them sooner rather than later. When I was little my mom wasn't the best at making sure o...

I wish my baby tooth looked that healthy. Mine is still in and my ortho said its not going to mess up any progress to leave it there for a few months. However mine is eventually getting pulled. It looks bad and has a very short root. And since my looks so awful and I am getting married in June my de...

:-* :-* :-* :-* Super happy today! I went to my dentist's office today to have a cleaning and discuss options for that tooth. He doesn't want me to have a gap either so he is going to make me a temporary crown for the wedding. And the great part is, its only going to cost me $175 out of pocket. Norm...

Awww, mine is May 23rd. It seemed like a whole group of us had our adjustments yesterday. Actually my adjustments are usually on a Tuesday. I wonder why its a Wednesday this time.
