I have 28. All 4 wisdom teeth were extracted about 8 yrs. ago.

TheShmo, you've got to be kidding, right?
IMNSHO, you are MUCH PRETTIER than Ugly Betty!

Congratulations on your freedom! Your teeth look FAB-ulous!

I'm in the same boat!

Your teeth look awesome! Congrats on going nekked!

The purple chain & green ligs look cool and congrats on getting your lowers so much sooner.

I think your ligs totally rock!

What a bummer!
This is the 1st I've heard of teeth fused to the bone.
I hope the extraction goes smoothly.

Lynnm, just read your story.
Congrats on making yourself a priority and going through with the extractions. What a blessing that the extraction sites didn't bother you much.
I look forward to reading more of your braces experience.

I just had my 1st adj. I found it very uncomfortable on the most sensitive teeth, i.e. the ones that were moving the most.
I hope your adj. goes well and I look forward to seeing your pics.

Wow, it was very nice to see your progress photos and how swiftly those laterals moved. Thanks for the update and congrats on getting the braces removed soon!

That has happened to me twice.
I'm learning to ignore the debug message.

Thank you, Manicmama! I hope your progress goes well too!
Are you keeping a journal here? If so, give me a link so I can check it out.

Thank you, KK! I posted the photo.
