Re: My two year journey starts TODAY.6/7/2012
your teeth get polished before brackets are glued on. This can make the color of your teeth look uneven and make it appear as though you have *white spots* this will usually even out in a few days. they are probably not tooth scars. you can get tooth scars from crowding though (because you can't cle...

Re: Being a 24 year old girl with bracing
I didn't even notice that you were missing a canine. Your smile looks awesome already. Some tentative advice- try not to drink til drunk with braces too often.

Re: Lia 77's story (with pictures of course!)
WOW! Our stories and our smiles match! I had criss-crossed wiring on my front teeth to start out, and huge wires eventually pulling my canines down, and even that *tubing* over a ton of wires where there had been gaps from extractions! A really great tip: DO NOT eat ANY curry or Indian food while yo...

Re: Rivvie's Rollercoaster Ride (will include surgery)

my old ortho said hawleys were the way to go. he was very young (20 something) and just graduating from ortho college. he said they help maintain your bite better than essix because they allow your teeth to touch and that they last longer. he said his wife still had the SAME hawleys that she had in ...

hey jdwallac my lips felt thin stretching over my crooked teeth. I hate my lips before. And I was a little worried that they would sink in after I got my braces off, not having the brackets to puff them out anymore. But after I got my braces off- I love my lips!
