Thank you!

A before pic for comparison:

So I finally got my braces off this week and am very excited to share these pics with you all! :D Debanding took about half an hour including photos, x-rays and impressions. I am mostly very happy with the results. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/hmree1/a084f9a2-db05-4e7f-a321-0fbf5d47da7e_zps...

I am currently 15.5 months into my estimated 16-18 month sentence (can't believe how quickly time flies!). I still have a small overjet for which I'm wearing Class II elastics 24/7 but otherwise I am very happy with the way things are looking :D My overbite has improved immensely as you can see from...

I have not posted photos on this forum before but after taking a progress photo today I couldn't help myself. 4.5 months down and I couldn't be happier with the progress so far!!

Congrats on getting your braces! Good luck

I can totally relate to what you said about your teeth holding you back. I also have 2 kids and have been putting off getting braces for years because I didn't want to spend the money on myself. Well I finally decided that I can't afford NOT to get them. I can't live the rest of my life being self-c...

I have lost 2kg in my first 2 weeks!! I'm not complaining about it though ;)

I have only just started to eat solid food again after 2 weeks of braces. I could not bite my back teeth together at first as my front teeth would hit my lower brackets but my teeth have already moved enough that I don't have that problem anymore.

My first adjustment is scheduled for 7 weeks after banding date. I am only 2 weeks in and counting down the days (can't wait to see some progress)!

The first week is definitely the worst. I am now 2 weeks in and have been able to brush my teeth without feeling any pressure/pain since day 10 :)

My estimated time is 16-18 months and I am currently 2 weeks in. I am looking forward to seeing some changes soon!

I have had my braces for 2 weeks now and have also not needed any wax or had any irritation whatsoever. For now, I am just considering myself lucky :)

I am 25 and finally got braces 2 weeks ago!
