One month from yesterday will be one year since I got my braces on! It's crazy how fast a whole year can go by. My teeth have come a long way, and I'm still in shock sometimes at how different I look. If I'm lucky, I'll be out of them by the end of this year. It would be a great Christmas present.

So anyway, here is my 11 month progress photo:

We had to re-level things a little bit last month because of a bracket that came unglued on my front tooth, but we're back on track now. I went in a few weeks ago, and got EIGHT ligature springs put on. (remember, those weird twirly things from a few months ago?) Three on top, five on bottom. They are used to move tooth roots, and are necessary since my roots are a still crowded, even though we've un-croweded my teeth.

I have some pretty cool xray pictures that I need to edit and post, but for now, this short post will have to do. Goodbye and goodnight, all!

    Just beautiful!! I'm kind of envious that you get all these cool gadgets to move your teeth around. My ortho hasn't done anything remotely drastic yet. I think next month I'm going to tell him to stop being nice (haha) and just "go for it" and get these babies moving, even if there's discomfort.
