Almost at the 3 month mark!! I'm so excited to share my improvements with you guys. Pictures will be posted in 2 days.

So thanks to everyone for your support and kindness, and I hope...

The bracket is still held on the tooth with the wire, so it's not going to fall off or anything. It just slides over my tooth whenever I eat or brush. I guess if it was really important then they would see...
