Hi guys,

Does anyone know about how much it costs to have bonding done to a couple of teeth that have black triangles?

Hi guys. I'm had my braces removed on Tuesday (yay!). I have been wearing my retainers but I think I may never get used to talking with them in. I sound terrible.
Do you really get used to talking with your retainers in and eventually sound normal?
Thanks.

Your teeth look great. It's time to get those babies off!
I just got mine off and my teeth are not perfect but I'm happy. I bet you will be, too.

I chose my ortho because that is the one my insurance paid for. If I had a choice, I would look for an ortho that was used to having adult patients.

Your teeth look great. You must be so happy to be done.

Thanks, guys.

Yay! That's awesome.

wow, where were you all last year? I got one lower bottom tooth pulled because of severe lower crowding and I was absolutely fearful of making this decision. (my teeth looked similar to the ortho's website #9 posted in this thread) Now, 11 months later, the gap is still not closed. I was told it wo...

Hmmm, so your not supposed to be able to do that?
I don't even care. I just want these things off.

Amen, Allisun- Hooray for June debandings!

Hi Ken

I like my teeth better now then when the molds were taken so I hope the retainer can be adjusted.

Just wanted to chime in. I can poke my tongue almost in a lower molar too. My de-band date is June 16th.
My bite feels ok but I was wondering about that, myself.

I had/have them both.

I will be getting my braces off in about 3 weeks. At my last appointment (a week and a half ago) my ortho took molds of my teeth and then put back in the finishing wire and added power chains on both upper and lower teeth. Since then my teeth have moved more. Actually, I think they are in a better p...
