Hah, I know exactly what you mean. Any improvements?

Any updates?

Hi, now that you've had your braces off, have you noticed any color differences in the areas of your teeth that had the brackets on?

I'd be cautiously about the 6 month braces as well. I've heard various things about the effectiveness of that treatment, whereas for full braces it generally been all the same.

Hi Ari, how has the surgery healing been going for you?

Smoking affects things at the cellular level, so it takes time for it to become a factor in healing. I'd start declining those invitations to smoke, but those two or three cigarettes won't be an issue.

Any updates with this? How'd it go with the new expander?

Sounds like awfully bad luck, sorry you had to go through this!

Glad to hear it's progressing (even if it feels slow)! Hang in there!

Hi Lynn, I'm about to start my oral surgery/braces journey, so can't really contribute right now, but will be writing up notes during this process and can hopefully help out in time!
