Hi, bracedagain and browneyedgirl thanks for visiting. I got GREAT news today!!! Braces come off July 1st!!! WOO_HOO!!! Dr. S. was very impressed with my progress so he did a little smoothing here, a little IPR there... and I get the "Silver Power Chain". Apparently that signals to the Ass...

Hi everybody! It's been almost 2 months (!) since I've posted, just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going in for another adjustment tomorrow. Hopefully this will be the de-bonding appointment 'cuz in my opinion, my teeth are about as straight as they're gonna get. So please send good thoughts f...

Joney: Hello, and thank you for your (continuous) encouragement... I am getting just the teeny-tiniest anxious to get these things off of my teeth... but I will be okay... Everything always works out in the end!!! P.S. Wearing the 3/8" Class III is making a noticeable difference. I can feel th...

I have an adjustment this Tuesday so hopefully they will let me know if/when my braces will be removed... hopefully then!!! hahah...

Congratulations on your V-Day Eve/B-Day!!!!

Just remember to drink lots of water, wear lip balm, rinse with warm salt water to toughen up your cheeks, take OTC pain killers, and.. um... i can't think of anything else at the moment...

Here's to a smooth, efficient treatment!

browneyedgrl : Thank You for your positive thoughts and for your compliments! My next adjust will be March 10th so maybe then they will tell me how much longer i have. linda21 : Thank You as well for your kind words. I am very excited because the end is finally here (hopefully). I bet the first few...

Hi Rebelda, When I first started treatment, I had to wear elastics in the back, but nothing quite like what you've got going there. Yeah elastics will break all the time back there, and I can speak from experience when I say eating them won't harm you. :D I had to wear those for the first 6 months o...
