Hey All, So I actually got debanded on the 16th of March. I guess I was too excited and caught up to post my pics hehe, so I'm sorry I am a bit behind! The debracing process was incredibly quick. No kidding, I was in and out of that chair within 20 minutes. I got tops and bottoms removed, all the gl...

You could bring this up with your ortho. I had a deep bite, so when I was braced my ortho put things called molar build ups on my bottom molars which had the molar band on it. It was pretty much a lump of blue hard stuff stuck on my teeth to prevent my front top teeth crashing into my bottom bracket...

What is an edge to edge bite? I don't think I have one of those either. I'm getting my braces off in 6 days, and my top right lateral almost ALWAYS bumps into my bottom right canine when I speak and it just absolutely drives me up the wall. However my orthodontist just blows it off when I mention it...

I went overseas for 5 months, and I was told by my ortho to not see a different orthodontist over there unless it was for an emergency. When I came home, one of my teeth was quite out of line, but as soon as I had my adjustment, it was soon put back to where it was. But yeah, just speak to your orth...

Well I got my braces about half way through what ended up being a 3 year relationship. Since breaking up, I have actually had more dates with boys now than what I had before any relationship. Granted I was in a long relationship, and was younger beforehand. But I think it's just the confidence thing...

STUNNING!!

They truly look fantastic! I bet you are stoked to have them off!!

They really really suit your face! SO natural looking. Congrats! Keep that gorgeous smile up! It's amazing.

I get mine off in 3 weeks hopefully!! Weee.

Thanks for the inspiration!

As far as choosing an ortho, I can't really give too much advice. The orthos who have offered you a shorter treatment time might have adjustments more frequently than the others. The only advice I would give is probably don't go to the ortho wanting to use an expander. It's just a bit odd how only 1...

Thanks for your reply. About that wire bend.. I have no idea why it's there or what it's doing. My ortho doesn't mention why he's doing certain things, even though I show a clear interest in what he's doing. All I know is that that canine and the pre molar haven't moved for a long time and won't be ...

Hey bracefaces! I am due to get my braces removed in 4 weeks time. For about 8 months I have been having real issues with two of my teeth in particular, my lower right canine and lower right premolar? (next to canine). The premolar just sits SO high, so when I bite together, it hits my upper teeth t...

Well. It has been a long long long time since I last posted!! I have been away on a five month journey to the USA, and have had an absolutely wonderful time. I have now been back for a good 4 months and feel that I am much overdue to continue my story! I have had 3 or 4 adjustments since I've been b...

AMAZING SMILE What a transformation! They look absolutely stunning. I am due to get de banded in mid March so can only imagine how excited you are feeling right now! My midline is also off, but sometimes that's just something which can't be fixed because of the bite or teeth shape etc. Enjoy your l...

Gorgeous! Looks absolutely perfect to me. Congrats. I bet you're super stoked.

Can't wait to see the final results! I'll be on holiday while you get them off, but I'm going to find an internet cafe and pop onto this website just to see your lovely naked pearly whites.

Pearls.

Mine were always 5 weeks apart. But towards the later months of treament my ortho started making them 4 weeks, then 3 weeks, then 2 weeks, to try to squueze in as many asjustments before I go overseas for 5 months. Unfortunately I was not happy with my teeth, so I'm keeping my braces on whilst overs...

Ken - you can save the debanding celebration for a few months :D I'm coming to the states in 4 days!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. I do have a mini itinerary so far! LA for 2 nights San Francisco for 3 nights Billings for 4 nights (family there) Phoenix for 3 nights (family friends) NY for 1 night CAMP! T...
