you're teeth look so gorgeous and straight. And just within one month. By the way things are going, you'll have those braces off in no time. :D

Wow, how awesome! I cannot wait to get mine on (Linguals). My ortho said I will have a fairly quick treatment period and I can only hope my teeth are looking as good as yours so quickly!!

thank you everyone!

#13 Post by nikond50 »

hello hello!!! thank you sooo much for your supportive comments. seriously! they're soo sweet.

and even i am surprised at my progress. my adjustment is every four weeks, which probably makes my teeth move at a faster pace. my mom says the same thing; they look like they're ready to come off. but i still have an over bite. my ortho says that once the teeth are straight, then that's when he'll work on my bite. i don't know about that now. all i know is that i can freely laugh and smile without inferiority of crooked teeth! not anymore. and it's such a great feeling.

and to answer some of your questions:

i'm 19 years old.

i'm female.

my treatment will be approx 12-18 months.

i brush my teeth four times a day.

i'm a constant flosser.

and i plan to have a laser whitening done the same day my braces come off!

thank you again all! i'm so excited and i'll keep you updated as i approached almost my second month with braces :D
