Today was my first adjustment. It went really well except for the assistant dropping ligs down my throat. She kept saying oops there goes another one. BUT, I get my bottoms on August 7th. YAY. That means another step forward. Woo hoo! :dance: Here is an updated photo. I decided to be brave and go pi...

I decided to take the plunge because I chipped a tooth. I always new that I needed braces and had been told so by an ortho when I was younger but my parents couldn't afford them. When I became an adult and could afford it I first had to have my wisdom teeth out because they were all impacted and cau...

:( I was also wondering if anyone knows a quick way to heal up a crack in the corner of your mouth. I have one now and I keep putting on lip balm and such but it's not really helping. I loaded on the lip balm before bed and it was just as bad this morning. I would just give it a few days but my adju...

Hey Daisy, Glad to see that you have some movement already! Yep, it's normal for your bite to change almost on a daily basis when your starting out. That's progress happening! Those top teeth have to get out of the way so your lowers can get SPAM SPAM SPAMMING. I also went to a sonicare brush pre-b...

Hello, I thought I would post an update. I am almost twenty days in and it is going pretty fast. I have finally gotten used to having metal in my mouth. FINALLY. It took quite awhile in my opinion. Here is an updated pic. I can't really see much more movement. That one bracket on my left canine? (I ...

CONGRATS on getting started! :jump: I hope everything is going well with your spacers. I completely sympathize with the wisdom tooth removal. I had all 4 of mine removed last year in anticipation of getting braced. Maybe your spacers won't give you too much discomfort considering what they told you ...

I feel like I have taken 2 steps back. I was hoping I was done with sore teeth until my first adjustment, but alas, I have sore teeth again. I need someone to please tell me that I am going to get used to this feeling and eventually be able to ignore it. I have a feeling that this is going to get ev...

I am really suprised at the reaction of a supposed ADULT to your braces. :evil: I am 24 and just had my top braces put on 10 days ago (bottoms to follow soon). I work in an office where everyone is between the ages of 20 and 60 and I have had nothing but positive reactions. They are all interested a...

I didn't like the threader. It takes WAY too long to floss. She also gave me some floss that has a stiff end but it is rough and has this fluffy section that won't fit between my teeth. Don't worry though, I figured out how to floss with just my fingers and some satin floss. Works just fine. I REALL...

Well, it has been one week since I was braced. I thought I would go ahead and post an updated picture. The wire has straightened out alot since day 1. My teeth have FINALLY stopped hurting so badly. I can chew pretty well and I didn't need any wax today. I am going to ask the ortho what her plan is ...
