GABY's CORNER! :D
So, I have not been updating you guys on my journey with my Damon Braces (SORRY! D: )
But here is a quick Update: ...
Jan 12, 2015: Well today I've had my braces for a little over a year ( 12/12/13) and I could not be any more happy with them. of course, I have those days were I wish I could eat all the chips and candy in the world, But I can't lol Aside from that the results have been GREAT! the wire changes were not as bad as I anticipated. I think the only wire that really got me by surprise was the rectangular wire. Even then it was not as bad of an experience than the previous time. (not saying my previous ortho hurt me, just saying the braces were a little a LOT tight lol).. I am currently waiting on a couple of small spaces to close to be finished with Treatment. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! :D I would definitely recommend the Damon system, for kids, adults. If you ever have any questions feel free to call our office and ask for me or any of my co-workers! (they are friendly too! :D )

Hey guys! Gaby here again, A little update on my Damon Braces :D
I got my braces put on again on December 12,2013. So, I've had them for almost 2months and so far so good. Nothing too uncomfortable.I would like to say though. I AM IMPRESSED. Within 2 days I saw a HUGE diffrence. My two front teeth were no longer "crooked". A week later my jaw felt more relaxed and not so tense, still felt the clicking and popping but not as loud as originally. 2 weeks in treatment, I couldn't hear the popping of my jaw when I ate. To me, that is a BIG improvement because I couldn't open my mouth enough to bite my food comfortably. Now, (almost 2 months later) I only hear the popping of my jaw when I open Super wide :3 but other than that I can open my mouth without hearing that annoying popping. [Current AW* size .014x.025Niti upper and lower]

GABY's CORNER :D
Hello, This is Gaby. I'm one of the assistants here in the office and I just wanted to share my experience with you all about the Damon System :D
First, A little Background about me. I am now 21, I had Braces when I was 14. I had the Traditional braces, after all the pain and uncomfort, I ended up loving them. I had a Love hate relationship. I loved them because they made my teeth straight but I hated them because they HURT so much. I had to have 4 teeth extracted to move on with the Treatment. That wasn't fun either :,( But 2 1/2 Years later.. They came off and I got my retainers :D ... Like any other teenager I wrapped my retainers in a napkin and threw them away, ONLY 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THEM!!!! My parents were furious but they got me a new pair. I was braces-less for about 5 Years. At around the 3rd Year I started getting TMJ (temporomandibular joint)symptoms; In which the Jaws don't quit function equally and neither do the muscles that help you chew. It can be very uncomfortable to Open, Chew or even talk. I couldn't take a bite with out hearing the popping on my left side. I didn't think much of it since I had gotten used to it. A year later I started hearing my right side popping and I started getting soreness every morning when I would wake up. I got really bad Headaches I couldn't take it. Fast foward to 2012 I had gotten used to them one more time but then the headaches got worse and worse. I finally decided to look into the Damon System..Here I will track how they are and how my TMJ muscles improve. Stay tuned :D ...
