My next appointment is Dec 8th and they plan on removing by braces. I'm pretty excited. I will post pictures. If they have you wear bands make sure you wear them as often as they say. It can delay the process and extend the treatment time if you don't. Sometimes they had me just wear them at night and sometimes it's all the time except when eating.

I was given bands at my last appoint. I was told to wear them all the time except when eating and brushing. The first few days were a little uncomfortable but nothing real bad. By the 4th day it didn't bother me any more. I have to change them out 3 times a day. I usually change them after each meal since I have to take them off anyway.

So what are the bands addressing? And also, WOW, the difference is already stunning from your first pic!

The bands are to correct my overbite. I'm not sure how long I will have to have them. I know it is amazing how much they have changed in 6 months. I'm supposed to have them for another 18 months but I'm hoping it will be shorter. :) I see him in two more months I will have to ask him then.

Thank you for the new picture!!! They are so clear, even on the bottom! I'm so used to seeing regular silver brackets on the bottom!

Most people don't even notice them at first. It has almost been 3 months since I've had them . I go in for another adjustment in 3 more weeks. Can't wait.

I look forward to the update! Our Damon community is so small--you may want to look in our regular braces forum for support. We have a number of people who are active in the braces community.

I am 45, I had braces at 19, I had congenitally missing molars both sides lower teeth. The orthodontist back then opened the spaces to make room for bridges. Well I grind terribly and I can't seem to keep a splint in my mouth at night to stop it. Well one of the bridges popped off and wasn't notice until tooth decay occured. So one side I have 2 spaces. I do have some bone atrophy and I am aware that moving a tooth into this space is risky. However I am on Growth Hormone injections that will help with quick bone growth( I have researched). I want to move the remaining molars forward and I need help on which braces are gentle and will minimize the damage to my roots. I also have very short teeth and was wondering if they can be pulled down a little to brighten my smile. I must do something about the grinding and I feel that I'm grinding because I have a poor bite. I bite on my left side and continually bite my inner lip when chewing.. very painful and sudden... :(

Hi! How are things going? You've had at least one adjustment since your last update, I think? How did it go? I want to see your progress! :D

Everything is going good. I had an adjustment in April and go in for another one next week. I can't believe it has only been 4 months. I had my first regular cleaning last month. That went well. No cavities. :) After my next appointment I will try to post some pictures.

Yes, please, and thank you :D!
You can't believe it's only been four months because you results are so good? Or because time is creeping so slowly? LOL!
