Wow, 4 months with my Harmony Braces already!

My apologies for the delay in posts, November seemed to just disappear before I knew it! And now here we are just a few days from Christmas. My teeth have moved quite a bit since my last post, especially in the past 2 weeks since my last appointment. Dr. Cliff added some "stops" (I think that's what he called them) to help my super-crooked front tooth move. I will be honest, that week was pretty painful - right up there with the first week I had my braces. I went back to soft foods for a few days and had to take quite a few ibuprofen lol. BUT the good (great) news is that it worked!!! In just a week that tooth moved so much that two people as soon as they saw me went "oh my gosh your teeth are so much straighter!". So all the pain was definitely worth it, because that is my most hated feature and I desperately want it fixed. I haven't been very good with using my AcceleDent lately, because I was sick for 2 weeks and then had that adjustment which left me not wanting to put anything in my mouth haha. Although Dr. Cliff suggested in future that might actually help when I'm sore, so I will give it a try. But I'm going to get back at it because I really do think it's working and I notice a difference from not using it. I will be posting the pics they took Wed so you can see the difference, and I'll also be putting together a time-lapse video on my YouTube page soon: http://www.youtube.com/user/HarmonyLingualBraces. My next appointment is mid-Jan so y'all have a great holiday and happy New Year, and I'll talk to you again in 2013!!!
