Re: Extraction gap closure time
Yes, it's going slower than I hoped, but I'm kind of glad teeth aren't moving faster. I'm scared of root resorption and more gum recession.

Re: How much teeth do you have?
Hi users! I wonder how much teeth do you have? I personnally have only 24 teeth because of 4 bicuspids out and impacted wisdom teeth (which will never grow up). Is there another one with 24 teeth on the forum or am I the only one? Thanks for the answers :) I only have 23. And a really big gap that ...

Re: Extraction gap closure time
I had an extraction in October and the gap is maybe half closed? My mid-line has to be shifted, so now I have gaps in between several other teeth also. Not looking forward to seeing a gap appear between two front teeth, but they tell me that it will happen. lol. Seems like it is taking forever and w...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
So I went to see my dad for his 70th birthday yesterday. While we were talking I mentioned having a tooth pulled. Daddy then told me he had just noticed I had braces!! I’ve seen him many times since May, so I think it’s funny he just now figured it out. Maybe people don’t notice as much as I think t...

Re: Do your black triangles change size during the treatment
I had black triangles before getting braces; now some of them are bigger because my teeth are no longer overlapping. I was told that I have them because of #1 the shape of my teeth and #2 losing bone as I grow older makes the gums recede. I was also told that IPR will help them and that doesn’t both...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
So yesterday I had the tooth that was rotated pulled. It had finally rotated to the right position, but to be honest, to me it looked so abnormal! It had an odd shape. I didn't say anything to the orthodontist about it, but I was kind of glad when he mentioned getting it pulled to make more room for...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
Yes, initially I was to get braces on the top and 4 weeks later on the bottom. However, neither myself nor my regular dentist was impressed with my initial consult. Therefore my dentist referred me to an orthodonist that he has referred some other of his patients to with excellent results. I was ve...

Re: My Journey has officially started
On Wednesday I finally got my braces applied after 6 visits to my regular dentist to get some much needed work done. I have full metal braces placed on both the top and bottom. Except for some tightness of the bottom 6 and touching of the brackets on my bottom lip, I have had no ill affects. I have...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. Similarly to you, I got braces because of bruxism and shifting as well. I also have some recession on teeth due to the bruxism. I have been in braces for 3 months. I find the teeth moving with braces makes my clenching at night worse and awkward feeling. Good luck...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
So I had my first adjustment on Tuesday. Still have same size wire on top because the ortho wants to get this tooth rotated before moving up to thicker wire 36AE7FD8-65ED-43FE-BACA-A29AEB4FCB08.jpeg Had some IPR done on that rotated tooth to help it move better- now flossing is so much easier around...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
Yesterday made it 3 weeks since getting braced. My mouth feels so much better now! :jump: I guess what I hate most is taking the time to floss :roll: I know I will have to go through some adjusting again after my next visit to the ortho when I get 3 more brackets and a larger wire; plus, I'm wonderi...

Re: My Journey started yesterday.
I wish I knew that ceramic are harder to get off. Do you think it depends on the brands? or it occurs with any kind of ceramic's brace? btw good luck with your treatment Hopefully someone with experience can answer that. :wink: I'm sure there are tons of people who have had no problems with ceramic...
