  1. The best appointment to date...

    by , 11-09-2010 at 05:54 PM
    Today I had one the most impressive appointments with my ortho She first of all said that the tooth that was rotated is now completely in it's correct position and with some other 'tweaking' she is impressed with it's movement.

    She also took off one of my brackets on the bottom tooth because it is just slightly off and for the first time in more than a year I saw a 'naked' tooth and MY GOODNESS that tooth looked huge in my mouth, lol. She moved it to a new position so that ...

  3. One Year In...

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!!!

    Ok today is the first day of the rest of my life for healthy teeth. It is my one year anniversary and I never thought it would get here so fast. I mean people told me that it would go pretty fast but I was thinking NO WAY it couldn't possibly be this fast. My goodness was I wrong. It has been one year today since I made that committment to behave and take the best care of my teeth I have ever done in my life.

    I now am on a countdown to

    I had my appointment with my ortho for the first time since I got my first set of powerchains. Yes I asked at least 16 questions to the assistant and to my ortho.

    First question I asked was that I was noticing that my front gap isn't doing ANY movement which was pretty disheartening since the rest of my teeth have seen some improvement. She assured me that since I have a tooth on my upper right side that was rotated 90 degrees in the wrong direction that we have to turn it the right

  5. 10 Months and 1 Day...

    by , 06-26-2010 at 10:03 AM
    It has been 10 months since I got my braces put on and OMG I am just overjoyed. Yep everyone was right the time is FLYING by! I remember when I got them put on and now I am into the double digit month. My teeth are doing their thing and moving along the way that they should. My ortho is pleased with my progress and the pain is all relative in comparison to the results that I am having.
    Well it seems that my family is just as excited as I am and although there are still a few jealous

  6. Powerchains... What Powerchains?!?!?

    by , 06-20-2010 at 10:11 AM
    Ok! 10 days later and now I can finally eat again. The pain really only lasted 7 days which I guess were ok seeing as though I was convinced that the pain would never go away I had to cut one of my wires already on the top teeth because I noticed that my teeth had already begun to move.
    I believe that my powerchains are doing their duty and assisting me in the best way possible. Although I don't see my ortho again until around the 20th of next month and I am already ready for my

    Hi All

    Here I am again posting something about my doggone teeth. My journey has been so freaking kooky I don't know how to behave. I am now into my 5th set of spacers! Ah the joy of the a perfect smile!

    I spoke with my ortho yesterday after my appt and she informed me that now my teeth are aligned on the bottom just like she wanted them so now we can move onto the power chains on the bottom teeth and new tighter wire and finally a bracket on my tooth that was ...
