Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Congratulations, Halley. I'm very happy for you. Have you posted before and after pictures? I'm schedule for lower jaw surgery on Thursday! I hope I have as much success as you did.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi Halley, Getting your braces off is a huge milestone! I can't imagine how great it feels to be nearly complete with the process! Do you still have a retainer? Even if you do, that is far different than having brackets and wires and hooks and...well you definately know what I am talking about! lol I am really happy for you. I would love to see before and after pics. And congratulations on running the marathon too! That is another statement about your personal perserverence. And you went the distance with both! Hugs, Fran > > The long awaited day came. When they handed me a mirror today, I > cried and laughed. . . with happiness!
