And They're OFF!!

More pics to come, but here is what I took on my phone on the way home!! So Slippery!!

1.5 days left

I get my braces off on Friday!!! I can't wait!!! Pics to come...

Power Chain bringing things together...

That is the little gap that we are closing...it's closed some since I got home! Love these things!

I went today to get my bands changed and a bracket replaced. I have this little gap between 2 teeth on the side, so Dr. Doumit put a Power Chain on the top teeth. This thing will bring the teeth together and I should be in A-ok shape! I think they are really looking great! So happy I am doing this!

Ahead of schedule!

Well, Dr. Doumit was impressed with the fast moving teeth!! I have to say that I am super excited that I might have these little guys off in a only a couple of months!!! I am so happy with the results so far!! This week, I had clear bands put on the top, in hopes that they won't turn yellow so fast...we shall see. I had my bottom wire changed to the thicker one, so those a little sore.

It's amazing!!

I hate that I didn't take a picture of my teeth this morning, but on the bottom front, I had a pretty big space that was created over the past month. Anyway, I just went and had new bands and new wires put on about an hour ago....the space is GONE! I love these things. More pics to follow tonight. There is so much change in just the 2 months!! What fun!

Moving and Shaking

These bottom teeth are starting to straighen out for sure!

You can see here that the top tooth that sat further back is moving in line!

Well, it's been a month since I got my braces on. I can see a bit of progress. Maybe this 8 months will go a bit faster!! I just had them tightened on Friday and they are pretty sore now. You can see that he replaced some of the rubber bands around the brackets with wire. Those give less resistance so the memory wire works better on those teeth.
