I just got braces removed today as well and the essix actually did a good job of holding the white Strips on my teeth. Bad thing was my gums are still swollen from getting my braces off so they were really sensitive when I first put the strip on so I will probably hold out on trying the strips again...

im not getting veneers I'm getting dental bonding(composite resin) to build up a small tooth on my top arch and I will have a bonded retainer on the back of my top six teeth and I don't see how that would be possible to shape a tooth all the way around with a wire blocking you. I will probably just ...

I have looked everywhere for an answer to this question. My braces come off January 29th and my ortho informed me at my last visit that I will get a bonded top and bottom retainer and essix retainer that same day. I have a really small tooth in the front that I have to get bonded at the dentist but ...

Ughbraces thats not a bad idea. I have always been one of those people who deals with things until they boil over and I just explode with the truth. That happened with my ortho and him not telling much about my treatment and I finally just got tired of it and eventually exploded with a million and o...

Now if someone told me out loud in front of others then I would be offended and embarassed but if u pull me to the side and tell me it would probably still hurt my feelings but I would find out what's wrong. Then I would wonder has others smelled my breath and thought the same thing and then I would...

what would I say?

my really close friend has horrible breath and I have no clue how to tell her. Should I tell her and if so how? She is very offensive and I don't want to lose her as a friend so I just deal with it. People at work talk about her behind her back so how do I tell her? Her teeth are very crooked and I ...

Oh congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully I will to in February!

congratulations! Your teeth are lovely. Can't wait until its my turn.

I think your dad is right, it just depends on your orthos policy. My ortho will not deband u until they are paid in full, good thing I just paid mine off. Ask your dad did the ortho say that but to be honest that sounds about right. Meryaten hit the nail right on the head. Do u know if you have an o...

I also feel rushed when I go to my orthodontist. I pretty much have the same set up as everyone has stated above. When I get there I sign in and an assistant gives me my folder and sends me to the back to wait in a room with about 6 kids or adults waiting to see the ortho, he calls my name looks in ...

I know for a fact in my dental office you have a set monthly payment every month which for me is $99, if you do not pay the money on time its an additional $25 charge and you will not be seen until they have the full amount. When I was 18 my mom got behind on my payments because they were about $129...

hi, I had a gaps on both sides between my canine and the tooth next two my front teeth(forgot their names) my left side moved but my right never seem to move to me but my ortho said otherwise. I wore a closing spring on my left side and a spring and an elastic on my right side to help close it. Ask ...

I was reading through Jennielee81 story because her teeth turned out really beautiful and I ran across something about a rectangular wire and I believe she said that's how she knew she was almost done(at least I think that's what she said, LOL). what is a rectangular wire and what does it look like?...

Double post(sorry)
