    One Year in braces and probably less than a year to go !!!!!!

    I have not posted in awhile cause my braces are getting VERY VERY boring. I barely have any overbite maybe 1mm compared to 10mm a year ago when I started this journey.

    I went in for my 9th adjustment yesterday and asked the question....... SOOOOOOOOOOOO it's been a year, do I have another year and a half??? And he kinda thinks and hesitates and says OH NO, a year tops and maybe if I'm really ...

  2. 300 days in braces -- Many more to go but loving results so far

    by , 10-17-2011 at 01:06 PM
    Well after another crazy busy summer I am finally updating my blog with a pic.

    I can't believe its been 300 days already, its feels like I just got them yesterday but also that I have had them forever and can't wait to get them off. I try not to think about them much but I know in the back of my mind its a huge reason why I don't feel as happy as I should and also I HATE SEEING PICTURES of how uncomfortable I look in pictures.

    The last few adjustments have been the ...

  3. Got finishing wire on bottom - 7 month pics

    Hi guys

    Just got back from the WORST (okay actually 2nd worst) vacation to my inlaws. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    When will I ever learn my lesson that spending more than 24 hours with them is a hazard to my health, mental and physical. There is no amount of booze, pain killers, medicines or deep breathing that will ever get me through a visit with them without losing it.

    Anyways UGHHHHHH must get over it, home for a few days before RVing for most of the summer. ...

    Hi guys

    Hope everyone is doing good. I HATE my braces lately I am having a few weeks of feeling sorry for myself and wishing the next 2 years will fly by. I know I was actually okay with them last blog but people keep commenting on how they make my lips stick out and how funny it is and how uncomfortable my mouth looks. People are MEAN!!!! I know they think it's funny but can't they lie about it now and then in 2 years tell me what a loser I looked like.

    SO today ...

  5. Got first adjustment and New wires today. And had major molar pain looked at

    by , 02-08-2011 at 04:57 PM
    So I was suppose to get my first adjustment next week but I was in SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH PAIN in my lower back molar area I had to go in a week early to get them to look at it so they changed my wires. YEAH!!!

    They don't know why I am in pain by the gum area where my wisdom tooth was removed a million years ago it is all irritated and so sore any time I have something hot or cold. There is not much room back there so the molar band is kind of squished and making ...

    Hi everyone

    My name is Elle. I am 32 getting braced for the 2nd time December 16th, 2010.

    Ceramic uppers, metal lowers, will have forsus springs for a lot of treatment to correct severe overbite.

    History
    - I was a thumbsucker until I was around 10 and then I got a retainer for awhile to correct overbite (I don't recall how well that worked)
    - Had braces for up to 2 years, removed when I was 13. I think I wore my retainers until around 20ish ...
