I have a bonded lower and essix upper and lower. I wear the essix upper 24/7 and the essix lower at night. I have had no problems with the bonded lower - took a couple days to get used to, but not a big deal. it's a little like flossing with braces, but like others have said, it's only between a few...

Hello AlgebraLand, Just a few days away fro you - very exciting! I was just de-braced on Wednesday, although I didn't have 4 years of braces in my formative years. Only 8 1/2 months in my early 30's. I'm veryy happy to be brace free, although since I clench my teeth at night, I noticed that my teeth...

Hi Braced, I was just debanded yesterday (mostly ceramics with a few metals in the back) and had a few ceramics that were very difficult to remove. Like an idiot, I forgot to take some pain drugs before I went in, so I had to deal with it. I don't want this to sound worse than it was, so I will tell...

Unfortunately, I do not have any before photos because my camera was broken for some time. Now that the camera is repaired, I can make an attempt to post my pi...

Hi Tigrrr, :-1 I had finishing wires for a few months before my debanding appointment was set. I also had elastics from day one and they kept me in powerchains to close all of the gaps for about 2 months. I am scheduled finally to be de-braced on Wednesday morning. :D It really depends on how your t...

Hi Pearls, :-1 I'm 34 and am in braces for the first time. I've had them for about 8 1/2 months and they're coming off in 3 days! I definitely had a lot of pre-brace anxiety, but I made it a much bigger deal in my head than it really was. Not a lot of people noticed and some people even said they lo...
