Awwwwwwwwww, thanks guys!

Happy Brace Day Peggy! Your brace day is the same as my birthday! Yay! Don't get too down about the bracket. It all feels so alien at first that the littlest thing is bound to make you feel like you're wasting you're time, but you're NOT! Before you know it you'll have a beautiful smile 8) Good job...

Yay for progress! Let's see pictures!

Hi everybody! Another busy weekend - I spent Thursday, the day of my extractions, laying around the house but I didn't get a break Friday-Sunday and I felt fine! Patricia : :lol: I did the same thing! I had a dark blue washcloth with me all day and made sure to put it under my mouth on my pillow whe...

Thanks Jenny :D I am indeed done and back at home. What a weird experience! Praise be to moms for all they do! My mommy picked me up this morning and took me to the dentist, then to the pharmacy, the ortho, and then home :wink: I was shaking like a leaf going to the dentist, but on the other hand I ...

Okay I'm off to the dentist - wish me luck!

Thanks for the kind words everyone I think I may need some more... extractions are tomorrow! Ack!

I know, I disappeared off the face of the earth for a little while I've just been really busy and honestly not even thinking about my braces at all! As much as I dread those extractions I can't wait for what comes after!

Don't you just hate those early phone calls? I always feel so silly because at first I'm indignant that somehow has actually dared wake me up with a phone call, especially if it's one I should be coherent for, and then I realize that most normal people are up at a decent hour and I just sound like a...

Looking good Skye! You are on your way!

Hi Patricia - thanks for the kind words on my story Like you, I'm not seeing tons of movement but I'm still very pleased with what's happening. How do you feel about your extractions now?

BTW, I really love those gold brackets on you!

"Lucy, you have some 'splainin to do!" Hehe I got your reference!

I was just catching up on your story and was astounded at the progress your teeth have made! Congratulations, they are looking great!

Welcome to AW Angel! I'm a wee bit jealous of you... I'm also 21 and nowhere near my senior year of college I hope your elastics appointment goes well and you stay relatively pain free!

Edited to add: I had a look at your weblog and it made me curious - what teeth did you have extracted?

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Just wondering if that is a factor... Anyhow welcome to AW Lacey and my fingers are crossed that your debonding day is in sight!
