Thanks ckrobyn !
Ken: Thank you! Yes, I will really enjoy that turkey dinner, then be ready to bring on the (hopefully) huge adjustment. Have you been watching the Chase for the Cup races? Arg, so frustrating watching Jr. do so well in the first half, just to have some f*** up near the end. Oh well, I'm not a Kyle Busch fan so at least he's basically out of contention. Anyone else I'd be o.k. with winning the cup. Ha, another silver lining....they're everywhere!!
Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Today is my 6 month braceaversary for my lowers!! Time seems to be flying by....
Ken: Yep, I don't know what's going on with Jr.'s team but he ran a good race on Sunday until "The big one" hit! Damn Carl Edwards and his "plan to run in the back until the end"...GRRR! *sigh* Oh well, I have a feeling this weekend will be his race to win!
flesh-was-sweet: Thank you so much!!
Bekah: Thanks! Yep, it sure is!
Unhappy teeth: Thank you, too! My front teeth haven't moved anymore, just that teensy weensy bit but I go for an adjustment next Wednesday so I'm hoping it'll be addressed then.
Well, on to the pics!!
This is what I started with:
And this is today!!:
Woot! They've come a long way for sure!!
On another note, I posted a question on the Metal Mouth Forum but wanted to put it here for my own sake, plus if anyone has any info/similar problem I'd love to hear from you. I discovered this Monday morning:
It has actually gotten worse. It's now filled with blood and almost purple but the funny thing is, it doesn't hurt really. I've been using peroxide/water rinse(as suggested by Lisa65 and Meryaten...thanks girls!! ) so I hope it helps. Does anyone have any idea how long it would take to heal?
And, on a good note, I've decided to go back to work. I've been home with my boys for 2 years now but now they're all in school/kindergarten so I'm going back to work part-time. I'm kind of excited to go back but nervous at the same time. Wish me luck!

Hello Jenny,
Happy 6 month braceaversar!!
It does look like a gum infection or something like that. I will say that if it doesnt go away in the next day or couple, you should call your dentist as it might get worse. Maybe he will give you some antibiotics.
Good luck with your new job! I am sure you feel good to be back to work. It is another way to keep busy, active and socializing
I hope when/if I have more kids I can be able to stay at home with them as well, at least for their first couple of years
Good Luck!

Hi Cyn: Thanks! My swelling in my gum seems to be going down quite a bit. It's still a dark red colour but the swelling is almost gone. I'm keeping a close eye on it though . Yes, I can't wait to get back into the work force believe it or not. I've enjoyed being home with the kids immensely but I feel "out of touch" with the world...and my social life is non-existant! lol I'm starting back Tuesday after my big turkey weekend!!
Audra: Thank you so much!! I guess the reason I wanted to wait is because I don't have dental insurance so an extra trip to my dentist would be hard on the wallet. Oh well, it seems better so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it heals completely.
Arby: Thank you! Oh, I'm soooo looking forward to turkey this weekend. I'll be having two dinners...YUM!
I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying that my ortho has merged his practice with another well known ortho from a different province. He's in a new building with a lot more staff and will now be open 5 days a week(previously was only open Mon-Thurs)so I'm excited about that. The only thing I'm apprehensive about is not having my regular assistant working on my teeth. She's so nice and always has answers for me or makes sure my ortho answers them. Oh well, hopefully I'll still have her but if not, I'm sure the others will be just as competent. I'm looking forward to seeing the new facilities. I saw pictures on their new website and it looks huge!!

I'm 8 months in today!! Woohoo!!
I went for my adjustment last week. Dr.P didn't end up doing a pan xray and moving brackets...he said he will at the next adjustment. I did get a rectagular wire though. Oh...my...goodness THEY HURT!! Today is probably the first day since my adj. last Wednesday that I haven't had any pain, either random or after eating. I've had discomfort before but this was pain. Oh well, I survived!
I've had a few interesting things happen. First, I'm back to work and loving it! It's so nice to be back in the "real" world. Also, after my adjustment, I got to work and felt the wire on the top left poking me. I though maybe it just wasn't clipped enough or it had slipped out...nope! My bracket had popped off!! Dang!! I had to ask my boss if I could slip back to my ortho's office and get the wire clipped so this is what I have now:
I hope it doesn't effect my treatment very much.
On Friday, I was cleaning my teeth and I notice my toothbrush kept catching on the lower left side so I investigated. One of the doors on a bracket was open so I closed it. It was a little hard to close and it hurt but I guess I should be happy it wasn't hard to fix and didn't require going back AGAIN to the office. My orthos new office is beautiful and I still have the same assistant...yay! It even has SPAMS for the kids so they don't get bored waiting. I asked if I could play too!! lol
Ok, on to pics!!
7 months->->->->8 months
7 months->->->->8 months If you look closely at the 8 month pics, you'll see stops on both sides of the right lateral(your left) and between the bottom incisors(that one irritates my inner lip)
Not really any changes that I can see but I'm hoping this rectangular wire will do the trick. I'm trying to keep positive about those 2 front teeth. I just wish Dr.P would do some IPR to make room since my incisors are so larger at the bottom and my canines are almost shaped like a diamond . I did ask him about IPR at an earlier appt. and he said once we're sure the roots are straight he'll do some so maybe next appt. after my pan xray.....
Hope everyone is doing well!!!
