Twenty-Four Months (Two Years in Braces)

...or what the rest of the world calls two years.  I can't believe I have had my braces on for two full years.  In case you missed it, this a full year longer than my initial estimate.  The top photo is my teeth today.  The central photo is the starting point.  The bottom photo is a couple of months in. 

My teeth are not whiter, but for some reason it was hard for me to get a "normal" looking picture.  I'd say my teeth are not as white as the top photo, but not as yellow as the others.  

Anyhow, at my adjustment yesterday she tied some wires around the brackets on my lateral incisors in order to help them move more quickly into their desired positions.  She then re-applied my power chain to the top.  Her computer even says, "ready for debracing".  There is a chance she will take off my braces at my next appointment, but I'm gonna go with August is still more likely.
