Wow, your teeth have come a long way from day one, baby! Never get tired of looking at the marvels such implements of torture can bring about!
Sounds like a bit of a love/hate with the splint, but wonderful that it's SO effective with relief. Do I ever hear you with the closing extraction site becoming a mega food trap...probably helping contribute to the other little spaces opening up, too.
Way to go on making plans for how to tackle your insurance problems. Game plan definately helps things feel more Do-able :)
Keep up the good fight, Steph ( and WAT TO GO on doing the 10k!!!) :)
Your teeth are looking good Steph. Shame about the splint, but it sounds like it's doing a great job relaxing your jaw etc.
Keep up the great attitude!
omigosh how good do your teeth look? wow. 10k? oh my. i run for about 20 minutes at the gym and i'm totally finished....
Steph,
Sorry to butt in with a random comment to ask for some blogging advise, but how did you solve this blogging problem you were having with post timestamps:

I've got the same problem now but can't find any solutions.
Thanks!

They're looking good so far! Congrats on the new job! You'll have to tell me more about it sometime.
Hi Steph. I just happened to stumble upon your blog in search for ortho advice. Your teeth are have gotten so straight and you're so brave for going through the surgery but I can just imagine the difference it'll make. It'll all be worth it in the end. I too have braces and have made myself sick about the teeth extractions I have to do on my lowers. Best of luck!
