Re: Jaw surgery and relapsed
I underwent a septorhinoplasty years ago for a similar issue. My nose had been broken a few times due to sports etc. and I found that newly developed allergies when stationed in Northern California turned me into a mouth-breather, and a reliance on nasal inhalers in an attempt to open up my nasal pa...

Re: Looking for extraction reversal in Melbourne, Australia
I am of absolutely no help, except I did do a search on "Melbourne" and found quite a few hits: https://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/search.php?keywords=Melbourne&fid%5B0%5D=13 . Not sure if any of this is helpful,but it's a start and you may be able to contact one of the posters (after yo...

Re: Early August Embracers!!
P.P.S. I know her posts are from 2006 so she may not ever see this, so if anyone else knows where she got her treatment, or knows of a London UK practice who would provide it, please do reply here to let me know! Two suggestions: First, I'd recommend you start a new thread. The board has not been t...

Re: Molar bands
I'm not a dentist, but I don't think that sounds normal -- best to call your orthodontist and get his/her opinion. Hopefully just a temporary thing, but if not getting it adjusted sooner rather than later is probably best. Best of luck to you!

Re: Chain troubles (they suck)
Good luck with it in any event. If she's that busy, you'd think she'd want to avoid unplanned visits to reposition the chain. I would be interested in her explanation.

Re: Chain troubles (they suck)
Is it the techs who are telling you "That's just the way it is, etc."? Because that sounds crazy to me. And while the ortho may not think it's a big deal, you are spending a lot of time going to and from unnecessary appointments. The techs may be cutting corners because for them it may be ...

Re: Your jail sentence
Hi! This being my second time in braces, (all metal!), my orthodontist estimated my treatment time at 30 months. My guess is a bit longer, I’m thinking possibly 36 months, as I’m not a teenager anymore. I’ll have to wait and see, it’s now one month since I became a metal mouth! Cheers you lot! I ba...

Re: Teeth grinding
There is a dentist who posts here, and who might be able to answer your question; I am certainly not qualified to venture a guess. Have you consulted with an orthodontist? Best of luck to you.

Re: Diastema and frenectomy
Greetings and welcome to the board! I am not a dentist, but from what I have learned here you can expect no more than a 1 mm per month movement toward closure. The search function on this board works very well, and you may want to plug in "diastema" and see some results -- see https://www....

Re: I feel ready to quit...
That's great! Hopefully the end is in sight and I am certain that you will be glad you stayed the course! I wonder what the record is for the longest sentence with braces? You've got to be in the running!
Best of luck to you!
Best of luck to you!

Re: Anything stronger than powerchains for gaps?
My ortho tried coil springs briefly, as I recall, to close a stubborn space. He ended up giving me a couple of Propel treatments in an attempt to stimulate remodelling and tooth movement. Here is an interesting overview of coil springs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjQFsAYKtw Best of luck to you!

Greetings, You've come to the right place! The board is a bit quiet these days, but I'd also recommend the search function that is the small data box on the left hand side of the board.

Re: Wax and hot beverages?
Ohh thank you so much for your kind reply! "and I second-guessed my decision to get braces endlessly" this! So much! I don't really have a choice as I apparently need jaw surgery to avoid my teeth to wear down, but still I have fantasied about just asking them to remove the braces. I am a...
