They came off today!

I'm laying in bed trying to relax now after my procedure. I was awake but it honestly didn't hurt. Tooth is now exposed and bracketed. Now we get to play the waiting game I guess to see how long it takes to come down!

Ps the tooth fairy owes me!

I finally have a date to get my canine exposed and bracketed! March 13th. So nervous!

I sure hope it's glue, lol.

And thank you! I still feel super self conscious about my braces, so it's nice to hear that people think they don't look terrible. :]

Aqua!

So I forgot to update for a bit. First I had an adjustment and they placed two open coil springs. This current adjustment I have one of the open coil springs, but they made it a bit stronger, and a closed coil spring on the top. http://i.imgur.com/w69Gz4w.png I've noticed that the bottom of my lower...

I'm on month 4, so thanks. :]

My two front teeth were practically the same length, and after this adjustment one tooth is a lot lower than the other one. Should I not worry about this? Will it get fixed? I have a closed coil spring on one part of my upper wire, could this be causing them to look uneven?

your braces are very pretty! Thank you! :D Here's the latest update on my teeth. I'm starting to notice how oddly shaped my one front tooth is. It had a chip when I was younger, and it was fixed, but it always kept falling off. Hopefully I can even it out once my braces are off? http://i.imgur.com/...

Also one more photo showing the difference from a week ago until now.

I started seeing changes after the first 30 days. Comparing pics side by side helps a lot! That seems so fast! Do you have any pictures? I would love to see them. (: Yes just check out my story in my signature below! Just posted my 3 months progress pics a couple days ago Oh wow, that's a huge diff...

http://i.imgur.com/Mqt630q.png A bracket on my front tooth came off during the weekend, so I had to go back yesterday and get it replaced. They let me change my lig colors while I was there. I like them a lot better than the first choice. Quick question though - Is it normal for my teeth to have ga...

Is it weird that I really liked the way your gap looked in the second photo? Either way, that's such great progress! Congrats.
