Thanks so much! They still have so much work that needs to be done, but I'm very happy with the progress!

8 month progress report: everything is on track. Four brackets, including upper two front teeth, were repositioned. Very excited about the front two, as those were the ones I was most self-conscious about. Looking forward to seeing them move into line with the rest of my upper arch.

15 month update- I am now on an "appointment to appointment" schedule for being de-braced. My original time for braces was 18 months (March 2012), but I go in for my next appt. Jan 3, to see if they can come off earlier. I have a few rough edges, but my ortho is going to smooth those out and even things up when I have them removed. Getting excited!

Looking fantastic! Yay! That's 21 days for you - then you'll be all done and will have graduated the braces class I've just begun! GREAT! Good job lady!

Thank you! You'll be surprised by how fast the time goes by once you get used to having them in your mouth. I'm still in disbelief that they are coming off soon.
