Hi Sarah ! :-1 As the others have said, your presence has really been missed. I'm sorry you haven;t been well recently, but I'm glad your first accupuncture session went well, and here's to the next sessions clearing up your pain. Good luck for your adjustment next week, and let us know how it goes.

Hi all! :-1 I had my second adjustment yesterday after 10 weeks since b-day. I can't believe how time has flown! It was pretty uneventful really, other than I got another new archwire (I think they said 0.18?), and they seemed happy with the progress so far. I haven;t really felt any pain since it w...

Welcome manicmomma :-1 Great that you'll be starting your journey soon, and that you are doing this for you . Your before pic is a nice one - if you think your before pic is bad, well you should take a look at mine - far, far worse! Anyway, we always tend to be more critical of ourselves, and as I s...

Hi Emily from another Emily! I saw your 6 week progress and couldn;t believe how similar they looked to mine!! My teeth were much more wonky than yours at the start, but we've had the same 2 premolars extracted up top, and I had the same lateral pushed in at the top. Like you, I also took pics after...

Hi Choccy, Hope all, is going well. We got braced on the same day, so I was interested to see your recent post. I've decided to take photos after each adjustment (1st one was after 6 weeks), the next is 4 weeks after that, in 2 weeks' time. You can take them as often as you like, as others have said...

Hi Nancoy! How exciting, a brace twin! I got braced on 10th jan also, although just the top for now. I've got much more work to be done, but it will be fun to read up on your progress!

Hi jenny5! Great to read your story and see your photos. I also had the very same lateral pushed back - seems to be quite common judging by other posts! My teeth were much more crowded and wonky than yours though, so I had 2 premolar extractions up top (all went fine), which gave the room needed for...

Wow, amazing progress in such a short space of time! Your teeth really are looking good - enjoy!!

wow, looking good! Those gaps are really starting to close up. Here's to the new elastic doing its thing for your midline!

Thanks joney, platinum, joao, new metal, smallbutmighty and jt2lang for your encouragements. It's strange but before I really noticed there was a difference in how my teeth looked, I noticed a difference in how they felt. I no longer feel a bump where my right incisor used to be pushed back in my mo...

Glad things are going well so far - your clear brackets are really clear - they look great! Here's to some progress very soon!

Best of luck for B-day on 9th March! Not long to go!

Wow, your brackets look really clear! What sort are they? Congrats on getting braced, I'm sure you'll see movement soon. I need my teeth shifted to one side also - not sure how they're going to do this, but like Karen said it will probably be with elastics - will let you know when i find out!

Congratulations on movement so quickly, Platinum! And good on you for deciding to quit smoking - it should help your teeths' progress too!
