Looking more carefully, I am pretty sure they are smoke. Maybe because they're translucent it looks more silver. To me, they say smoke.

I haven't updated in well, forever.
I had a long appointment this week where he shaped my teeth. I also had two lower left brackets re-positioned. I now have a power chain going pretty much completely across the top, it starts right in front of where my spring/space was on the upper right. That space will host an implant sometime eventually. I haven't been able to bite down/eat solid food since, it's incredibly painful. So this is NOT a good representation of my bite, since I can't bite down properly right now. I'm still doing triangle elastics in the same spots (the original two, not the upside-down triangle anymore). Next appointment is January 2, 2008. He seems to think that I should be done sometime early next year. I'm hoping so.
Not the best picture... but here ya go.
