Starting 6 Month Smiles 8/17/17

I just got my braces off and my teeth look perfect! Which is strange and i have to adjust to life without braces again.. They put in permanent retainers and took molds for full retainers for me to wear at night. My bite seems different, so that will takr some getting used to. As long as they dont move back I am happy with my outcome and the money i spent on it :)

The last 5 months have gone by very quickly! I have had a mostly positive experience with my braces, takes a few weeks to really get used to them but it is very normal once you do. I noticed teeth movement very quickly. Sometimes in order for things to straighten out it has to go crooked first. My dentist has paid close attention to me and i have an appointment every 2 weeks ( besides 1 month).. She adjusts something if it doesn't seem to be working right. When i had to wait 1 month to go back to the dentist my bands got pretty yellow from my daily coffee, and i have broken off a few brackets but everything has gone smoothly. Should know when i get them off next week!

I have a lower tooth that sits in front of my uppers, and it really bothers me. After alot of consideration i though 6MS sounded like a good option for me.. The process of actually getting them on has taken about 3 months. Today was the day.. Took about 2 hours. Even though these things are clear they are NOT invisible.. They make my teeth look extra yellow and my face looks like its swollen, it is just the weirdest feeling. I have my first check up in a week and I will update.
