I go in for my next adjustment on Saturday. Since my treatment is winding down, I'm going to inquire about when I can get these babies off! Right now, I'm ...
Mine were right on schedule, Regina. And the way I found out was that one day my ortho casually said, "We'll take them off at your next appointment!" What I...
Hi Ron. Glad you got yet another one out of the way. Sure does go quick, huh? I think I'm heading to #10 on Thursday. I have to count. Mashed potatoes are...

I hate to admit it...but like a car wreck....I can't help but watch that "Average Joe" reality show that NBC is pumping out! Tonight was the first episode of...
It must have been a day for ortho visits today. My son and I both had our adjustments today too -- my seventeenth, his first. I had my lower front teeth...

Hi Rick. Sorry you are having such a terrible time finding an Ortho. I live in NYC so I don't think I can help with locating one. It's a bit of a trip. There...
