Not this yellow—promise! I have no idea why my back teeth keep coming up overly yellow and stained. Nevertheless, I will definitely be getting some sort of whitening to finish off my perfect smile post-braces.

About Me
- Say Braces!
- I am a happy-go-lucky girl, living in Sydney, Australia, who—at the ripe, old age of 20—decided to take on orthodontic treatment to fix her class III underbite and crooked tooth, with braces only. This is my before and after braces progress blog to capture my journey. My overall treatment time was 12-15 months, starting from 5 October 2010, at a grand total cost of AUD$6,745, which included 2-3 months of upper, maxillary expansion plate wear, followed by upper and lower clear, ceramic braces. This is my perfect teeth story to make me smile.

Wow your teeth look amazing!!! Grats on not having an underbite anymore. I'm the opposite of you and I have an overbite, which is getting better everyday w/ these elastics! Check my blog out too: dswiz.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThank you, thanks! It feels really good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, gosh I hate these elastics to death—I didn't know I was signing up for them when I signed up for braces—but they are pretty great, aren't they? They're working wonders.
Yeah elastics work so fast! I felt my bite changing only after a couple days. Now I don't have to move my lower jaw back to bite down anymore. It's so fantastic! But man are these elastics rubbing the inside of my cheek RAW. I need to drink more water.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why people tend to complain that the elastics rub at their mouths. I haven't ever experienced this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe mine aren't cheek-rubbingly strong? Or, perhaps class III elastics don't rub? I'm glad, whatever the case!
Well mine didn't start rubbing until a month into the elastics. Weird. It only lasted a couple days. It's not really rubbing now though... oh well :) It's crazy, your teeth look like those "model" teeth that sit on the orthodontist's desk! How much longer do you have to wear your braces?
ReplyDeleteWhat a compliment, thank you! I am very happy with how things are going.
ReplyDeleteThe orthodontist said either 6 or 8 months, which is absolutely fantastic!
Wow, I looked over your photos from beginning to end and it's amazing how great your smile looks!
ReplyDeleteIt really gives me something to look forward with this treatment, and I'm glad to see the results from someone who used to have an underbite (used to have... yay!) looking forward to reading more, thanks :)
Thanks for looking and thank you so much for the comment! It really does feel amazing and I wish absolutely the same for you with your treatment!
ReplyDeleteUsed to have an underbite, I know! I can't believe it, but love it and I'm so happy about it!
