Hey guys! I got my braces off at my last appointment.

Unfortunately, I'm using a borrowed computer. My computer is broken. I'll write when I get a new computer or get mine fixed.

Thanks linda21, bracedagain, and M1k3y

Wow, your smile is BEAUTIFUL!

Congratulations!

Thanks for your support, KK!

I really am looking forward to the day you get your braces off as well!

Sorry for not posting anything for a long time. (Wow, it was exactly one month ago since I posted!) I just went to my appointment today. The guy next to me was getting his braces off and I was so jealous. They kept going on about what you get to do after you have your braces off. I, on the other han...

Thanks linda21 & bracedagain! Your words really help me, especially during this frustrating time.

Every day I'm in braces now seems to be longer. I guess that's because I'm so close to getting them off.

Thanks again!

Damn it! All sorts of small gaps are opening on my lower teeth. Looks like I'll need a powerchain to close the gaps and then elastics. I hope this doesn't add on two extra months. Grrr!

You can watch Ugly Betty on ABC's broadband channel on the website. It's great!

Gahh! I ate a plum and the pulp got caught between my teeth. When I took it out, there was a gap!

I don't know if the pulp forced a gap or if it opened by itself. I'll need to tell my ortho to put a powerchain on my lower teeth to close the gap.

That would be an incredible birthday present!

I got my appointment sorted out, so I made a ticker for it. It's a long appointment at 40 minutes. I wonder what will happen with so much time...

Buy a Waterpik. I always use it at the bands and food flies out.

That's incredible! In 28 years, they could be anywhere in the world. You either have great luck or great detective skills.

I've only had mine on for about 2 months. I think this is because I still have teeth that are not perfectly aligned with the others.

I think my finishing wires will be put on at my next appointment, since there's a tooth being pulled down.

Thanks for the question!

That's great!

Have a great time, KK!

I hope you don't run into any trouble!

Guess you're referring to halloween :lol: ? We don't go all out here in Oz for it. Wow, Halloween is really big around here. I have to buy about $40 worth of candy every year to pass out! I can't get good pictures of my teeth, though! I rearranged my bathroom, and have nothing to stabilize the came...
