Hi Diande, Thank you for the compliment! I really don't know what those rubber bands were for, but I THINK they had something to do with helping my teeth settle. That picture was after what was supposed to have been my final adjustment, so I think that's what he was trying to do. I'm sorry I don't h...

I've been harrassing him for the last week! It seems like there is a problem every other day--at least I perceive that there's problem! ...

For the most part, the debanding was not painful at all! I had one metal band that did not want to come off and it happened to be on a tooth that had a pretty big filling, so the tooth was pretty sensitive! Everything else popped right out! I know it sounds crazy, but the most painful thing was when...

Hey SinOnYourLips! Thanks! I still can't wait to get my teeth whitened! My ortho said that I will have to wait at least 6 weeks...after my next appt. My teeth have to do some settling before I can go without my retainers long enough to use the whitening trays. I definitely don't mind the wait. The c...

3 days to go...Should my teeth STILL be moving???
Hi all, As many of you know, I was supposed to have my braces removed a few weeks ago, but that dream was shot down b/c my teeth had overcorrected!!! Since that time, I have had another adjustment. Some minor tweaks on the bottom wire and a change in rubber band configuration. Prior to this visit, I...

NO!!!!! :-(( You'll have to excuse me b/c it is still a little fresh. I went in this morning to have my braces removed and was, instead, met with a disproving groan from my ortho!!! He said that I had, undoubtedly, worn my rubber bands exactly as prescribed, but he had miscalculated and my teeth had...
