It's been ages since my last post and a recent comment prompted my memory of the existence of this blog. Life's funny the way it brings you back into things! Since moving to Portland in 2013 I've been through a whole slew of life events, some more sad than others. In 2015 I vowed to have straight teeth in preparation for my wedding later that year (which ultimately I ended up getting divorced but this isn't that kind of blog, so I digress, trust that this was a happy ending). Anyways, I had braces placed on in February 2015 and had them removed just before the wedding in August so I wasn't a "brace-face" in all of my wedding photos. During the 6 months of wearing the braces, I also used an accelerating device each night called an "Acceledent" which guarantees to speed up the time that you are in braces. When the time came to have the braces put on after the wedding had taken place, the ortho stated that my teeth were as straight as they were going to be and not not worry about having them placed back on again. I was absolutely thrilled! I truly believe that the use of the DNA Appliance primed my jaw and gums in order to accelerate the process that much further when the time came that I had braces applied. A pre-cursor to an amazing smile if you will, I still recommend the use of the DNA appliance to anyone that is on the fence about it. Here's some updated photos of life after braces!
