I'm getting naked in 12 days..... YAY!!!

:jump: BIG NEWS! Looks like I could be out of these braces in 2 months! :jump: Its hard to tell which tooth is Trixie, now that she has joined the rest of the group. Just some minor adjustments and I should be good to go. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r255/Sbebs/Week28/S7000791.jpg http://i146....

Lowers are doing quite well they have gone from crooked - to straight across - to the arch they have now in a short period of time. just a little bit more arching and they should be done :0) Thanks for asking MissDiana Lowers Day One http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r255/Sbebs/week%2019%20comparis...

Thanks for the encouragement Sash Mego and Kiwi ! I just had Trixie put on the arch wire. Very exciting day! Hopefully it pulls into place as fast as it pulled in behind the others. :jump: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r255/Sbebs/week26%20tonwire/S7000722.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/...

Thanks for sharing in my excitement Linda!

Big news~~~~ Trixie was bracketed three weeks ago! And she has been on the move ever since! :D Right now a wire lig is keeping her attached to the spring and arch wire. Hopefully next Tuesday when I go back in they will be able to attach it directly to the arch wire. At this rate I may be out of the...

I took a few pictures at my cleaning last week to compare movement over the last 19 weeks. Pretty impressed. In two weeks the spring should have done its job well enough to get Trixie bracketed - Can't wait for that one :0) Uppers Day One http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r255/Sbebs/week%2019%20com...

Thanks for the encouragement Denise , Karen and Linda ! And thank you ACD for the information about your spring and incisor. That gives me some great perspective :) Luckily my uppers seem to respond quickly to treatment. My lowers are another story. Hopefully they will get with the program quickly. ...

Happy "Spring" everyone. Thought I'd share my latest addition. I had a spring placed on my uppers to make way for Trixie. Not sure how long it will take to open things up for her but I have an appointment in 4 weeks to check my progress. I also had part of a bracket chip during my last lig...

Thanks everyone. Its very exciting to see the progress. Even my ortho gets really excited to see my progress pictures :) Unfortunatly I am not very happy right now. I am still in pain after 5 days of having my lowere brackets on. I have canker sores, and scrapes and I still cannot chew anything more...

Thought I would share what my new silver ligs look like on ceramic. They are barely noticeable but I bet will keep staining away... I'll let you know

Well today was my lowers b-day! In two weeks I will have a spring put in in order to make room for my stubborn incisor "Trixie". Hopefully the space will open up fast so she can be bracketed and put into line with the rest of them. I also went with silver ligs this time. Kind of fun! Lower...

Wow. I can't belive its been a month already! I went in yesterday to have my first adjustment. They kept the same wire for now and I got smoke ligs again too since they worked out so well the last time. My ortho was very happy with how much movement I had on my "straighter" side. In 3 week...

From the 3M site - it is the "AlastiK" line.

Page 8 shows a pallete of all the colors. Hope that helps, I really have enjoyed the smoke. Just a hint of color + stain resistant = a great combination!

That's strange that your smoke ligs appeared so grey. Do you know what brand your ortho uses? Mine uses 3M...good luck with clear!
