Re: Nervous about getting braces
Really the only reason I waited so long was due to the fact that I thought I would look awful in braces. I too got metal ones (my choice ... Feel like clear ones stain too bad) after I was braced I was a little self conscious but now I hardly even think about them. I want to smack myself for waiting...

Re: Coil Springs, UHHH
I had three spots for coil springs and I didn't think they hurt all that bad. I've heard such horror stories. I actually just got my last coil off day before yesterday and finally got a hidden tooth braced since the coil made plenty of room. It hurts ten times worse than the coil lol.

Three month progress with pics
I can't believe how fast they moved and how jacked up they were. Granted I know they wasn't terribly bad. I always thought they looked fine ... Until I see how fine they can look! Sorry for the excitement ... No one I know understands how exciting it is

Re: Activating a coil
Thank you! I assumed that's what they meant and I really couldn't think of any other way they could be activated lol.

Re: I feel like ripping them off
It does get better!!! I'm almost at the end of month 3. It took me about two weeks to get used to them but now I barely notice them ... Except when I'm eating. I've noticed as the months go by I get more annoyed with food getting stuck lol. My first month or so I gritted my teeth really bad while I ...

Activating a coil
I am closing in on the end of my third month. I have an open coil between my upper left central and upper left canine to make room for the lateral that is behind both those two. I have had the coil the entire time and the doc stated at my first appt that I was at 7mm and needed to be at 13mm in orde...

Re: Can't make a decision on braces anymore
I am 38 and just got my braces on January 4th. I have mild crowding on the bottom and a snaggle incisor tooth with another tooth somewhat hidden behind that one and my front tooth on the top. They are fairly straight other than that. Parents didn't have the money when I was younger and growing up I'...

Re: "Go To" Meals After Bracing, Adjustment, or Extractions
I just got back from my third adjustment now. Had a coil placed on each side on the bottom and a coil on the top right as well as square wires put on. Needless to say I am starting to get super sore and picked up soup on the way home. Usually I recover by morning but I think I am going to be stickin...

Braces on back teeth
I was told at my last adjustment visit that they are going to have to brace the teeth that are behind the ones with the molar bands. Anyone else had to have this done? Also I know this is completely normal but one of my teeth with the molar band is so loose!!! I can wiggle it with my tongue ... I kn...
