Hi, I'm Anny and I got my top braces three days before my thirtieth birthday. After much delay I finally got my bottom braces in mid-March.
The change in my smile has been amazing and I love going in for adjustments and feeling my teeth move!

Countdown Begins!

ACK! My ortho says my braces may come off next month ALREADY! The tops have been on for a little over a year but I am so attached to these things 
I do have a gap on the left side next to an incisor. Pre-braces I had a gap between my front teeth and during the bracing process it has migrated around my mouth. I got another power band on the top (the bottom metal bands stayed put this month) and the ortho said the band will probably close the gap this month.
I don't think so because this will be the 3rd time I get the bands and the gap has only migrated without actually closing. Maybe I'll end up with one of those spring looking things to draw the teeth together?
Who knows?
Having the braces come off has me quasi-nostalgic. I miss flossing the "easy" way but they really feel like an extension of me. In a strange way during this past year they've become a part of my identity and I'll be sad to see them go :/
Totally weird huh?

Oh my goodness ... I can't wait to get my teeth naked ... and I hope you'll feel the same when it happens!
Powerchains usually close gaps ... and they can do it quite quickly, so hopefully it's not too far away for you.
Remember you've got a life time of retainer wear ahead of you ...
Good luck!

Well the gap is right before the power chain...so maybe next month they will put another chain on the tooth that won't move over to fill the gap?
I'm just guessing LOLPosted 12-17-2009 at 03:20 PM by Anny
