Well Hello my fellow brace faces... :D It's been way too long since I've been on here. I'm back for a quick update. I've had quite a bit of progress since my last post. I no longer have powerchains on either arch. I am in my final wire on bottom and heavy elastics to close my bite a bit more. I go b...

Hey there! So I checked out your story. Your teeth look great already. If I had an overjet like yours I probably would have never gotten braces but I can totally understand wanting that perfect toothpaste commercial smile! :) We do have simillar stories... and you smile the same way that I do it see...

Wow Katie!!! Now that's some movement! Your teeth are looking good kid!

I hope things are going better and those brackets stop giving you trouble. Good luck on staying away from chocolate! I know I could never do it.

Hi Ken! Your teeth are looking absolutely great! I'm crossing my fingers that those pesky gaps close up quickly for you! Nice rides man! :D Do you ever go out to Kil Kare? I dont know what part of Ohio you're from but I used to hang out at that track at least once a week. It's like the only cool thi...

Wow Martin. It's been a while since I checked in on everyone and you have made some great progress. Your teeth look fabulous. They've moved and lined up so well already! That spring looks painful though. I hope that hasnt been too hard to handle. And with the brackets in the back... I can relate. I ...

Hi Braced and Jenny. Thanks for your kind words. :D My teeth are feeling much better. I can finally chew normal food at least. :D I go to the ortho again on Wednesday this week so we'll see how things go. As soon as your teeth start to feel better they do something else to them, right? :D I'll keep ...

I've been MIA from the forum for a while so I'm back to give a little update. Thanks to everyone for your comments and encouragement! It really helps!!! :D I've had a little set back in my treatment now... which sucks but I think it will be for the best. I went in on Monday to have my wires trimmed ...

WOW!!! Great pics! Wonderful progress!!!

Hi Ken! Glad things are getting easier for ya! Those springs are a pain... and cleaning them is even more of a pain. Thank goodness for waterpiks and those tiny brushes! I guess I've gotten used to it. I've had those springs for about 2 months it seems... not sure. :? Oh and the Ohio weather is the ...

Ok here are my pics. Sorry it took me so long to get them posted. My teeth are feeling much better since my adj. and I'm noticing lots of movement in my lower front 6. The elastics... man I tell ya... once you get used to them it feels weird when they arent in. I take them out to brush and usually p...

Well hello my braced buddies!! I went for my adjustment yesterday. Man I'm feeling it today! :-(( They switched out my wire on the bottom for a heavier one. I got power chains on top and bottom from molar to molar (smoke colored) Man did that hurt. My teeth (canines especially) were tender. I still ...
