Only 9 trays left for my upper arch! There's still a lot of movement needed, but I can say things go according to plan and I'm pleased with the results so far. Well, except for the IPR issue. I'm still angry about that. My midline will never look vertical The lower arch has still 29 trays to go.
Howdy! So, I have now had my Damon Clear braces for exactly 5 weeks. Throughout the last month I have had very brief moments of VERY minor aching in a few isolated teeth. Eating with braces is like riding a bike. It took a few days, but now I barely think about them when I'm eating. I thought about nothing but my braces for probably 2 straight weeks, and now I think about them quite a bit less. Mostly only when I'm meeting new people or friends that have not seen me since I ...
DSC00852.jpgDSC00848.jpgDSC00854.jpg Okay so not much new as I said early they are boring now 1) My natural smile now 2) Side view, no overbite really 3) New elastics You can see my new upside down elastics in the one pic. I think my big front teeth are on an angle though?? Or is it my smile?? Midline still a bit off but I guess he will wait closer to the end to fix that? Anyways ...
via my blog at: Wired Journey It's only been 2 weeks and I can see and feel a difference in my bite. Teeth are now touching that weren't touching before! I was wondering what my ortho had planned when he was tweaking my wire. Awesome! Even though my bite is INFINITELY better than before I had braces, he still wants to bring my lower teeth down more, which may require a wire change or something else. I might not be in my last wires now. Here are some pics! Week 64 - ...
People are right, when you can't see the progress unless you study the photos. My lower teeth are showing the most, because they had power chains. I am assuming because I had a slight cross bite, they needed to correct the bottom more before correcting the top. Im amazed. I didn't think my lower left canine was even moving. There is no gap like the right side, but apparently, it's moved inward. Here's before: The lower row almost in a straight line ...

Hey guys this is the link to my official BLOG, please be sure to follow and check it out http://bracefaceqna.blogspot.com/
It has been around 10 weeks since i last updated my journey... mainly because i couldn't get onto the site...... so i thought i would give a quick update. Firstly, i have seen a great amount of movement and have been amazed at how quickly they moved in the first month, and how they continued to move in the last week! I had incredibly crooked teeth and a very bad (well i thought it was) overbite. And being 6ft 3", most people have to look up to talk to me and the gap ...
via my blog: Wired Journey That's right folks, my ortho FINALLY told me I can stop wearing rubber bands!! Well technically his words were "You can stop wearing rubber bands for now," but I'll take it! He wants to try and close up my gaps and overbite. He even tweaked my wire to straighten my upper teeth. He wants me to come in more often, about every 6 weeks, to get my power chain replaced so my gaps can close. I have a crap ton of gaps in my upper teeth. I mean literally, ...

Hey all! I just wanted to post some pictures of how my teeth look at the very beginning of treatment. I have damon clear on the top front six teeth and regular metal damon brackets on the rest. Let me know if there are any other angles or pictures that you would like to see. 2012-01-09 10-53-02.218.jpg2012-01-09 10-34-32.542.jpg2012-01-09 10-33-38.480.jpg2012-01-09 10-30-57.857.jpg2012-01-09 10-30-21.130.jpg2012-01-09 10-27-34.093.jpg2012-01-09 10-20-06.874.jpg2012-01-09 09-58-49.322.jpg2012-01-09 09-57-10.190.jpg2012-01-09 10-42-19.818.jpg ...
Here are some photos of me... well, its me.jpg This one was taken before I started any treatment, in february 2008, age 14. PICT0107.jpg This was before my second jaw surgery, august 2011 PIC_2970.JPG This is what my smile looks like now, after two lots of surgery and over two and a half years of braces PIC_2963.JPG This is me in January 2012 I'm lovin' the results!
So, it's official, I'm all braced up. I've had my braces on for just under 12 hours and already it's been an adventure. The application wasn't too bad. They cleaned my teeth really well before putting the brackets on. It took about 1.5 hours to put all the brackets on and place the arch wires. The brackets were super uncomfortable at first and I got very worried, but it was less annoying once the wires were put in. When I looked in the mirror for the first time ...
Okay so basically my treatment as been boringly uneventful. I guess that's what happens when you get close to your de-banding date right?? (At least I hope I'm close!) I think my ortho is trying to perfect my midline, and I have seen definite improvement since a few weeks ago. Shoot, I better see improvement since I've been wearing my rubber bands like my life depends on it! Lets take a look Week 62 - Almost there!!! My midlines are SO close! ...
I've never been one to smile with teeth. Never ever. My teeth were always crowded, and it just wasn't pretty (lol) so I didn't do it. Now that my teeth have straightened out, it's been/will be a huge adjustment. While on vacation (to San Francisco!!) in December, we snapped quite a few pictures. I was surprised to catch myself smiling with teeth way more than usual (anything more than zero is more than usual) so I figured I would post and share my smile with you! ...
Got my wires in place with 2 power chains and 2 bands.
It's been a while since my last post! November was boring, and nothing changed much (just some minor tweaks by my perfectionist ortho), but this month has been more eventful. I had my first December appointment on 12/15, where my ortho decided that one of my bottom teeth needed to be turned slightly. He couldn't get the spring on it the normal way, so we had to MacGyver it a little. We also discovered that another one of my bottom brackets was busted. Of course, the one next to my original busted ...
