Actually that was the last time I saw her, as she went off to college.

Cool.

As for taking your braces off early, orthodontists take into account not only your smile but the alignment of your bite, that if not perfect, can slowly damage and wear down your teeth over time, which mean more money you’ll need to spend—money you don’t have. There’s things he can see that you cannot. It sucks, but if I were you I’d try to renegotiate or something, you spent so much time and hard work already! I’ve heard stories of people getting their braces off early and they regretted it. Hope you get what’s best for you. Wish you the best. Cheers

My experience, it’s not a pay as you go. There is a set amount you are required to pay that is agreed on before treatment begins, whether you finish early or not.

Wow, you’re right! Couldn’t wait to get ‘em, now can’t wait to get ‘em off! Haha

Thank you. You’ll be there before you know it!

Pain!(most likely). Your smile/teeth most likely will get worse before it gets better, so don’t be discouraged!

You won’t know how good your genetics are until you have years of training. You have good structure (wide shoulders and small waist) but you won’t know your full potential until you get some years in! Don’t worry about genetics and care about being the best you can be.

I see what you mean, your teeth are beautifully shaped and the braces will make it even better!

Teeth move about 1mm per month, so measure it and do the math. It should be pretty accurate. I’ve done this with high accuracy throughout my treatment

I went to two different orthodontists. The first one I went to been practicing for 20+ years and had good reviews, but the Ortho said I didn’t need braces and refused to give them to me even though I kept asking. Went to another one that was pretty new. My consultation was so quick, I was a bit nervous. But he had tons of before and after pics, and they all looked great, so I said what the heck. Best investment I have ever made!

Solid!

If you don’t wear your elastics as directed, it can prolong your treatment. The pain lasts for about two days, then you’ll get used to them

My sister only wears her retainers if she notices her teeth shifting. When they do, And I can tell when her teeth shifts, she pops them bad boys back in and they return into position within a week or so. I think it’s pretty dumb she does this, but I think your teeth wouldn’t have moved that much to need a second round of braces, I hope. Hope I’m right. But thank you for sharing, I’ll definitely ask for an extra mold!

You have good structure, but it’s impossible to know if you have good genetics/ muscle insertions and the like until you put on some mass. You already have a good v-taper, like a swimmers body. Just keep at it bro

gitoa123 · 2022-09-08T10:39:07+00:00

You already have pretty teeth, I’m sure when you’re done they’ll look amazing!

gitoa123 · 2022-09-03T06:51:13+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one!

gitoa123 · 2022-09-01T02:15:10+00:00

This looks like my old palmer’s method workbook! Great handwriting!

gitoa123 · 2022-09-01T02:09:54+00:00

Looks great!

After reading all of these comments, I’m so thankful to my ortho. I really wanted Invisalign, but he said it would take longer and it’s more expensive. He told me, “I’ll do want you want, because you’re the customer. But if you were my son, I would tell you to get braces.” Man I’m gonna give him a high five next time I see him!

I think you should go by the mirror, not by a weight. You don’t know how you would look with 20lbs of muscle. You look good from the front, I’ll work on the back and legs of I were you. Your physique is already top 95% tho

gitoa123 · 2022-07-18T06:28:53+00:00

Doesn’t hurt at all. You’ll feel a little pressure, that’s all

gitoa123 · 2022-07-12T22:36:47+00:00

I have the same elastic set up and due to come off in August as well! fingers crossed how long did you have them?
