I have had my braces off for a littel over a week now. The thing that was so weird to me was that my teeth didn't really feel like they belong in my mouth---very weird feeling and it took at least a week for me to get use to it. Also getting use to not having brackets rubbing up against your mouth w...

I was in braces for 4 years (just had them taken off last week). I had ceramics on top and only had one to come off. The reason it came off was it was located next to my canine which had been impacted and he tied onto this bracket with a lot of pressure and the next day it broke in half and evidentl...

Thanks guys for all the compliments. . .
Yes, it's me, the same ole Gena from way back when, even when archwired was on Voy Forums . . . Those stubborn impacted canines take a long time getting into position--glad I only had to do one of them. Yes, I am wearing an Essix on the top but I have a bonded retainer on the back of the bottom ones...

Braces off yesterday . . . .
I haven't been on here in a log time so I'm not sure how many of you may remember me. I got my braces in July, 2003 and I am one of the impacted canine people. I finally got them taken off yesterday and am so pleased!! I attached an old photo also so you could see just how bad they really were. I ha...

My canine was lying horizontally in the palete. My ortho pulled the tip down, then rotated it and pulled it toward the opening all at the same time. I had to have my baby tooth pulled. It didn't have any decay and wasn't the least bit loose. They pulled it at the same time they did the exposure surg...

Thanks guys for all your support. It really is amazing that a tooth can be moved that far isn't it? I'm just thankful for my ortho. He is so patient and is a stickler for perfection. He was telling me about one of his cases that had failed and it was almost like he was in tears for not being able to...

Bessie the Canine finally gets her bracket
Well, yesterday was a day I have been waiting on for 3 years and it finally happened. Bessie the canine was finally close enough to place a bracket and put in the archwire. She's still not positioned exactly right and I'll probably have to have some gum tissue removed but this is definitely a milest...
