overjet
After talking to my orthodontist last month he told me my overjet was a WHOPPING 10mm, I had two extractions and after almost 2 years in damon braces, and no headgear, my teeth are now perfect, and my bite at the front is also perfect - no overjet at all. Next week i am hoping to be debanded. So i g...

If your husband is supportive and you have gone this far it would be foolish to back out now. You obviously don't like your teeth the way they are and you will only regret it in years to come if you change your mind. I say go for it - i did, my husband was also a great support to me, and in all hone...

WOW, just reading through this topic i have come to the conclusion I must have the cheapest Orthodotist in the UK. I have had Damon 3's on now for 19 months, and next week he will be changing my top 4 brackets to tooth coloured ones for the final straightening (aparently damons have a 'bit of give' ...

This is interesting, i went to my ortho on Tuesday and after 19 months of being in Damon 3's he said he wanted to replace my top 4 front teeth with regular type brackets to fine tune them. I am really looking forward to the change and finally getting to the finishing line. :lol: He did say he would ...

From my personal point of view i'd say braces have bought out the real 'ME' Before braces people thought i was quiet and shy - like i had nothing to say. I did have plenty to say - only in order to say it, i needed to open my mouth and of course that meant showing my teeth. So i chose not to. Since ...

Broken Bracket
I also wear Damon3's and i have had a bracket sliding about on my wire and not attached to my tooth ( the one just before my bottom cannine) for the past 4-5 months, and each time i visit the ortho he says its no problem and hasn't done anything about it. So i don't think waiting a few days until yo...

Hi, well i'm not a doctor, but the same thing happened to me, and 12 months down the line my gap is finally closing, my ortho put a spring along the gap to pull the molars and the other teeth together. My bottom teeth also had no crowding, and looked fine to me before braces but they had moved to ma...
