Re: Lunch time brushing
I try to check my teeth using the camera on my phone a couple times during lunch so that I don't realize later that I had something in my teeth the wholeeeeee time.

Re: can you brush your teeth too much?
Oh man, this thread is making me reconsider brushing after every single thing I eat. I've been brushing about 6 times a day, so I'll cut back.

Re: What kind of lip balm do you use?
I bought a 3 pack of Blistex Fruit Smoothies. It's ok, I mostly just wanted a couple of cheap lip balms to throw in my bag for the office, at home, and in my purse.

Re: Weight loss
I haven't lost a pound! I've had braces on for three weeks now and have been pretty lucky in that I can eat everything (basically).

Re: What did your ortho "give" you?
I got a toothbrush with a Christmas tree brush at the end, a packet of Super Floss, a dental mirror, a sample of ACT braces fluoride rinse, a coupon for ACT, a sample of Orajel, dental wax, and a list of foods to not eat.

Re: Got my Waterpik!!
I have a WaterPik Aquarius and it's great! It has a small footprint (great for small bathrooms), comes with a ton of heads, and it works really well. It's a little loud, but I would expect that.

Re: open bite, tads, braces no surgery
This is actually my course of treatment (minus Invisalign). The first orthodontist I saw was relatively young and suggested that I really need jaw surgery. The second orthodontist was older and was really surprised that a younger orthodontist suggested jaw surgery for my open bite.
