Wow I cant believe we have got this far!! your pics are amazing:) Congratz again:) I haven't been on here for a while either as I got busy with school but I missed everyone on here so I decided it was time to get back on here plus I'm in the process of planning for an i...

sweet! good idea:)

I was in a similar situation as you. Before I got my braces on, and the thought of even getting braces, I had a root canel done by my now old dentist. Unfortunately the dentist that did the root canel only filled 1 out of the 3 canels in the tooth and as a result the area kept getting infected. When...

I think it is a good idea to book an apt with your ortho to get it checked out. Depending when you were debraced will depend how fast your teeth can move.

in regards to getting the moulds, ask your hygienist to use luke warm water. This should help with the sensitive tooth and it will also help to quicken the process with how long you have to have the yucky mould stuff in your mouth! The hygienist has done that to me several times now and its that muc...

when i had my braces i often wondered where i could find the travel tiny ortho tooth brushes! I eventually just asked my ortho receponist for a few lol

congratz!!!!
