BRACEURSELF'S UPDATE
Today is my 8 mo mark & I LOVE my new smile more & more all the time! I have an appt next week & my Ortho has mentioned elastics. I was supposed to get them at an earlier date but you know how things can change, so that didn't happen yet. Thats ok cause it all happens when it should right? I will post an update picture in a little bit & and show everyone my progress. Thanks for letting me update!

OUCH!
I had my 2 teeth extracted & after all the numbness has worn away, 1 of the sides is hurting so I just took meds. Wish me luck on the healing-my next appt is Aug 21st with my regular Ortho.
I did it! I am glad it's over!

your dh sounds like an inspiration! I am doing better today & I have been doing the salt water rinses-I only had to take 1 motrin today & that is it-I am pretty proud of myself. I am now looking forward to the future & these teeth moving even more now that there is extra space for them! Its exciting! I'll keep everyone updated

Well, I have been in elastics for a while now-I had to start with manatees elastics from 1 tooth to another to close the gaps from my extractions, that helped alot & now I have a box configuration with a stronger elastic(Gorillas) and I am excited to see the progress that continues-thanks for all the support & I will update again soon
