If you ever wonder if the pain is worth it with those power chains to scroll back to page one. Hard to tell those are the same teeth. They look great!
I'd love to tell you what to do to get over the power chain pain, but I really can't. The best thing I did was dive right in and chew. Maybe I'm too dumb to feel the pain.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Thanks for praying for me and thinking happy thoughts.

Man, I hate I missed the first few days of power chain. They're torture but I wish everything worked like that. You're teeth look so good. It's so exciting to see the differences. How much longer do you have left?
Baseball... hmm.. we've got one in softball and one in baseball. I'm right there with you 4 nights a week for games and then practice on the off nights. It's crazy because I'll be dropping one at practice and headed over to the field for a game. I haven't quite figured out exactly how I'm going to work all of it yet. haha My girl's a dancer too and she's just as competitve in that. She's getting ready to do competition next year so she is busy with that on top of softball. It's a mess. haha
I answered your hair questions on mine but in case you come here first.... I've got lovely platinum highlights, which make me think I could be a rock star. lol I didn't get the bangs and I'm so glad I didn't know. I like being able to pull it all up and back and go. It's much easier then worrying about what it looks like.
Talk to you soon!

Hi Denise! Just checking in.. I figure you're probably like me and don't have a ton of time to come on and post these days. We're in full swing w/ball and it's got us hopping from one place to the next.. We had a tourney last weekend started Friday night and ended Saturday.. We made it to the championship. We wound up the 2nd place winners. woo hoo!! Pretty awesome for a brand new team I think. We were super proud. They did a great job.. Thank goodness we don't have any softball tourney's.. The only way she'll wind up doing that is if she makes it to allstars.. I love her she's awesome but man I want a vacation that has nothing to do w/a ball field. haha I guess if they both wind up in allstars we'll just take a late one this year..
Hope you and yours are doing great!! Talk to you soon!

Yay! More elastics!
Sounds like a good appointment as far as progress goes, but pretty lousy as far as the tech goes... I'll cross my fingers you don't get her again, that sounds awful!
Can't wait to see the pics!

Hooray for early adjustments!
Sounds like your progress is coming a long, and how great that Josh is almost done! I'm sure you won't be too far behind him. You'll have to take a picture of both of you with big naked grins!
Glad you had a little bit of rest before the games started.... hopefully the weather down there is nice for you!
Can't wait to see the most recent pics and hear another update!

Your teeth are looking really amazing, Denise! Your arches look very rounded out and from the pics everything looks very straight. Good that you are prepping yourself for another year, but it doesn't look like there's that much left to do! I'm sure if I got in and really poked around in your mouth (you know, flossed you or something, lol!) I'd see the flaws you see, but I don't really want to do that!
So I'll just say it again - your teeth are looking really amazing!
Glad to hear the weather turned nice for you guys; it's been touch and go here. We've had some really beautiful low-humidity, low 80s days.... and we've had freezing cold, rainy gross days where I have to turn the heat on!
I can't wait for the heat!

Hi, Denise,
I'm just stopping by and say Hi! I'm so amazed by your result and it was really inspiring! Maybe I'm missing some of the text (your story is really long, I mean in a good way) but did you ever get your 2 upper front teeth reshaped? the reason I'm asking is that I noticed they are quite wide to start with, just like mine, in a shape similar to triangle (the bottom is wider than the top). If you have noticed my picture, mine are the same, and also started side by side flat like yours. I'm also wondering when did they start to turn and form the nice round curve? (I mean when you look at them in the top arch view)
Keep the good work!!!
