Ok, so we are all "normal" for being psychotic. haha

Nikki, you have such a sweet smile! and looks like you are DONE already! when can you de-braced?

Thanks... Hopefully by end of this year. But Doctor didnt say anything about it yet. So i'm not sure. Overall, doctor is still not happy with my progress cos my upper jaw is protruding. I told doctor i'm already very happy with it eventho its not very even witht he lower jaw...

I wonder what's the ideal result that Dr. How is targeting for. You never asked Dr. about how far r u away from completion? I wanted to ask, but the sentence just stuck in my mouth when I plan to ask.

Same here. I did asked him abt 4 months ago...he was too focus doing his thing. So i didnt repeat myself after that...ended up didnt ask.

it's good that he's such a perfectionist, at least you know you're getting the best treatment and the best results.

as for me, by hook or by crook he has to de-braced me by Oct 2011. Hopefully all the gaps from extractions will be closed by then. *keeping my fingers crossed*

and its for funny that Dr How keep emphasizing that I should understand and will not blame him if it wasnt the best results ever. Of coz I understand, he is doing his best :-)

Cos he also scared if anything happen, i will affect his reputation. But he is good la...he wants all his patient to look good.

yea, i supposed :-)

and the funny thing is, I'm learning to SMILE all over again. haha, sounds weird but, for someone like me, who has never really shown a real smile, and has been covering it for years, it does feel NEW to me. and these days, I tend to look at the mirror and learn to smile. feels good to be able to do that.

Haha...u're not the only one... Thru out your treatment, u will learn as when ur teeth moves. I'm serious. I'm still learning too...

same here! my smile changes throughout my treatment...

nice :-) when will you be ready for ur debracing?

i'm not sure... Dr. How did not mention about that and I did not ask...

just got back from Dr. How, he took one bite stop off, and the other one remain. did a scaling. other than that, nothing change :-( no tigher wire or anything.

be patient... sometimes Dr. How did not do much adjustment for me too...

my next appointment is supposed to be next Monday, but i received a call just now saying Dr. How will not be around... have to reschedule to later date, disappointed...

Me too... re-scheduled to end of the month.

mine is 1 june.. Wondering, one day we may schedule on same day accidentally

Hahaha...probably we all met b4 but just didnt realize?

i hope so. coz when he didnt do anything, makes me feel like i'm not progressing enough. and i wonder if the wire is still working. coz i haven't change the wire at all.

I did ask him tho, he said, my teeth is still sore, and he doesnt wanna hurt it too much. ooh well, he knows best.
