Hi Nikki,
I am seriously starting to regret ever starting down this road. I am finding it increasingly more and more difficult to live with this pain and discomfort. I am hoping that he will be able to help me find some reasonable solution(s).

I'm going well thanks Nikki! I've seen a lot of changes in my teeth too and in a couple of days I will have had them on for 5 months! I don't believe how much better it feels to have an improved bite! I know it is not yet perfect but it is just so much better than it was!

Hope things keep going well for you!! And I think the darker pink would look great on you when it comes in stock!

Have a great week!

Hey Nikkie,

I have been reading and following your progress and you have come so far!! I do enjoy all the colors you have been selecting :jokerlaugh:

You must be so pleased with the results thus far. I found it interesting to read that you wanted to keep part of the space due to cultural perception that is quite something. I love how your looking so far!!! Thanks so much for sharing I don't mind the large pictures as it makes it easy to see the change (except the food heheh)

Wishing you well
Ravin

Hi Nikki,
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I've really been struggling with everything. Have had a few nights of not too much interrupted sleep. Last night was not good, though. Despite the fact that my orthodontist said he could not give me a mouth guard, I am seriously considering going to the drug store today to buy one. Not sure that I'm going to be able to tolerate having anything else in my mouth. I just wish this problem would go away! I'm pretty unhappy at the moment and have been for quite a while.

Sorry to have kept you guys waiting so long for pics. Been extremely busy lately.

But here they are....
My next adjustment is the 1st of February. So until then....

Oh and incase you were wondering the frenulum or whatever it's called. (The skin in the middle of ur front teeth) its swollen. The ortho said prob some food got stuck there and it looks infected. So I'm watching to see that it doesn't get worse. But ive been brushing, flossing and waterpic-ing everyday so I can't see how it's an infection.

But so far its nit getting better or worse....so we'll see...

Chao
Take care for now...
