I am going tomorrow to get 2 teeth extracted ready for my brace fitting next wed,an I am getting pretty scared
In fact i am terrified ,I am having sedation but am still worried sick I am a panic attacker , dental phobic who did not go to the dentist for 10 years , and has now gone the whole hog of having braces like i shoukd have done when i was a teenager.
Please can someone tell me I am worrying for nothing about the extractions
Also has anyone had experience of a removable upper brace , and how long did it take to get used to it
Well done vixi, take it easy on yourself over the next few days. Personally I found the extractions far worse than the brace ever was. And don't worry you will get back to normal eating before you know it. Good luck on Wednesday.
Regards
Joney
2 Extractions 2nd November 2006
Brace On 10th November 2006
Top brace off 26 June 2008 (19 1/2 months)
i know what you mean about just wanting to get it done already!
i got my extractions done on the 7th & 14th of december & then had to wait a month(!) before i could have the braces put on because the ortho closed over xmas!
it was so annoying having to wait with my gappy smile!
but my braces are now on & they have been for three weeks today and i couldn't be happier!
I know what you mean Brittanube, I could have done mine over christmas and would have been in a similar situation, but I decided I would wait until after my birthday, as I wanted to have one great big last scoff out before being wired up
Will post tomorrow afternoon and let you know how it all went x
Hi
Well I slept ok woke up a few times but fell straight back to sleep
This morning my bottom teeth were hurting so have taken tablets for that , I have to say after sleeping in the brace it dosent feel quite as bad as yesterday, i took it out for dinner last night, and I think just having it out for an hour was enough of a break
The removable is to move the teeth over into the extraction gap and then after the normal wires will go on to bring my two front teeth down check out the link for pics
just make sure you keep the removable brace in all the time, that way you'll get as much progress as possible!
yeah, 18 months is a long time, but think how beautiful your smile will be when it's over! and that's something you can keep for the rest of your life, which is a much longer time!
I am getting a little more used to it as each day goes by, I did have to take it out while at the gym, found it really hard doing a work out and feeling restricted in my mouth
i always find rice is the worst! after pretty much every bite i am going madly around my braces with my tongue... people must think i look really weird, but hey!
and that is what the toothbrush was invented for hehehe.
oh my god, it's my first adjustment on thursday! i can't believe it's almost been a month already! yay!!!
might be messy !!
