Hey guys! Long time no talkin' too! lol. So... I guess I've got some updatin' to do....
Braces: Well, after 8 months in braces, my teeth are straight. I am moving onto elastics at my next app. which is the 14th of April. My ortho and I are highly impressed with how well my teeth have moved. There is even talk of a shorter time in braces. WOOOHOOOOOO!!!! I sure hope so!!! We have to wait and see how long it takes for my teeth to align with the elastics, though. I am excited and nervous about getting the elastics. I will take some pics in a few minutes to post. It's really amazing to look at the before pics. I didn't realize how bad they really were!
Me: Not a whole lot new here, my hubby got home on Christmas eve from his deployment so that just made my year!!! The kiddos are doing great. Growing like weeds and getting sooooo big. Oh... and I guess the big news... I'M PREGNANT!!! Yup, baby #5 due in December. We are so excited an can NOT wait for her/him to get here. We are really hoping for a girl this time since it is our last, but as long as it's healthy, that is the main thing.
So I think that is about it for now. I'll be back with pics!

Thank you Peggy! I feel pretty good about them. I am having problems with my gums bleeding a little more now that I am pg again, but other than that... lol. I am hoping the 26 month sentense is cut way down! Hang in there girl. Your teeth will get there! I am pretty surprised that mine have done this good. I mean I went from being told I may have to get my front one removed and wear headgear to almost perfect teeth and no head gear, no extractions, and possibly a shorter sentense. I am please to say the least. But anyhow, I've been wondering how you are!! How are things going? Did you get moved? How are things with you and your man going?

Hey guys! Well, I had an adjustment today and got my elastics! Woohooo! I guess that really is when it starts to feel "official". HAHAHA. So anyway, here are the pics from a few minutes ago. ~ I got purple powerchains on top, and pink on the bottom.
It's kind of cool b/c I can already feel the tightness of the eastics. Hopefuly my midline will be better by my next app on May 29th.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up for me too. Your teeth look terrific!! I love the pink and purple. I have self-ligating but I finally got a powerchain. My first one was clear but went with "screaming pink" yesterday at my adjustment....I love it!Annie Lou wrote:First thing that came to my mind too while looking at your pics!!XXNECRAXX wrote:OH MY FLIPPING GOSH your teeth are AMAZING!!!!!!! wow!!

Thank you, guys!! I think that if I had to get them taken off right now, I'd be fine with them the way they are. I mean, they aren't "perfect" but compared to how they were they are perfect to me. Boy I tell ya though, my teeth are pretty sore this morning from the elastics. To me that's a good sign though. I love that my teeth move so fast. I can already see a difference and I can't wait to see what they look like by next app on May 29th! I will for sure take some pics.

how are your elatics moving your midline??? my elastics are moving my crossbite very slowly but i guess its a hard part to move... They had put and extra molar band on my last molar on the top right to extend the arch wire to help with my cross bite aswell.... i can actually see my fave teeth showing now..(my canines!!) i need to move my midline too... i hope thats not too long either.. anyways hope to hear from you soon!!
