Brilliant! Martin, I wouldn't have recognized you by those teeth!

I went to the link and thought for a second "Where did I go?" Forgot you had surgery for a second. I don't see much bruising and you look pretty good!

Welcome HR88! 18 months will go by super quickly! Hang in there!

Welcome and yes, take what you need to be comfortable. Don't forget that ou need to chew to get the blood flowing and teeth moving. Are you getting surgery or is the underbite just dental?

Bekah and Melissa, boy has it been a while since I've been on here. What a journey it has been. Seeing that I only have two weeks left, I really hope that things will stay put and not relapse. I'm wondering what happened to some of the folks that used to come on here all the time like Lisa, Meryaten...

Princess Melody, they look great!!! I wonder what kind of design you've got on those hawleys.

You'll be back out eating and drinking like most of the rest of us. Glad you survived to come online for a bit to give us an update! I can't wait to see those post-op pics once the swelling goes down.

I'm almost 2 years into my 3 - 3 1/2 year sentence and I'm nearly done. My past 3 adjustments have been possible debanding appointments. But the last Wednesday of this month should be the end!!

Are you guys talking about Doctors when you say Orthodontist? Or the Ortho Assistant? The assistant is not a doctor and is working under the direction and supervision of the Orthodontist. So if you've got a new assistant working on you, maybe you could ask that someone observes while they work on yo...

Missy, I hope you're feeling a bit better about taking the journey again. Remember how horrible we felt the very first day? It will pass again and things will be super!

Looks like you have some clear powerchains pulling your canines back. You're making awesome progress!! You have some nice white teeth to start withso your finished smile should look even more awesome!

I would love to post more pictures but I don't have any and am not daring to try and take them from this crazy laptop camera. Maybe I will be able to have them up from my records appt. I will try and find my camera but more pictures will have to wait.

Hey!! Congrats on your surgery! I hope you're feeling okay. You probably won't be online to read this until you're feeling better anyhow. YAY!
