yay!
I know it must seem like a let down but it sounds like they'll do something to fix it. :? How long do you have to wear the retainer? You have such a thurough orthodontist. Too bad she didn't tell you about the retainer. Either way, you've come a long way Joplin, this is a hoop to jump through, but i...

Oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh Joplin!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! I don't know if you remember me, but I used to post a lot during the days I had braces. I always liked reading your story because you've been such a grateful trooper. It definately kept my complaining to a minimum. I feel elated for you to have a deba...

Got a crown and now my retainer doesn't fit
Hi everyone! Been braces free for about 1 year now, with no problems. A few days ago I had a crown put on one of my bottom molars and the dentist shaved some of the molar on the top (the one that sits over the crown) to help it fit better. Now my top essix retainer doesn't quite fit and when I bite ...

That bonded
Oh those bonded retainers. :D I have both upper and lower and personally I am very comfortable with the bottom one, but the top one I am constantly playing with. It only took 2 or 3 days to get used to having it there and not trying to "tounge" it out of my mouth. It is nice to no worry ab...

Jesslezz, your teeth are looking great! My sister had a problem similar to yours when she first got her braces on and she was more self conscious of her smile with the braces than before. But a year has passed and she looks like a different person. Her treatment plan is similar to yours. I can reall...

married
I got married a few months after my braces were on. My ortho asked me if I wanted them off for the pictures and he could put them back on. I told him I would think about it. I am glad I had that time because I decided that just like the wedding was a big event in my life, so was my decision to get b...

same day
I got my clear retainer (Essix) the same day I had the impressions for it along with my whitening trays. Some people don't always get them the same day though.

yep
Yep. Before I got my braces, I never thought once about veneers, bonds, ect...but one week into the process I was acutely aware of how much teeth can be manipulated (via dr's and PhotoShop). So my goal is to have an aesthically pleasant smile to myself and something I feel is as close to "norma...

elastics
Wow Alexa! I had the exact same configuration for a year! I did notice that I would clench A LOT when I first got the elastics and then it really didn't go away. I did have some pain on one side because I do have some TMJ problems on the left side. I told my ortho about it and he said that I might n...
