I know that feeling! I have my braces off for almost a month and I am still stalking this forum!karencoutts wrote: What's even weirder than that is why I am back on ArchWired in the Metal Mouth Forum when my braces are off already. It's like a habit I can't break.

Retainer Pain
Hi all I have just got some new Essix retainers (my old ones were active ones and they needed to be replaced). What I can't get over is the PAIN. THey are so incredibly tight. It can't be because my teeth have moved since my moulds were taken - I picked up the retainers about 6 hours later. When I t...

Bonding for Black Triangles
Hi all
Just wondering whether anyone has had or intends to have bonding done to reduce the impact of black triangles? I have a pretty bad spot on my lower arch that I would like to conceal.
Does bonding mean veneers i.e. very expensive?

Cathy I have really enjoyed your story - very funny! Tiffsmile - I had Innovation C braces. They are not as discreet as Radiance brackets - because they are self-ligating there is a metal section on them. However - and this is the good news - you can eat and drink whatever you want with no risk of s...

Got mine off this morning. It feels surreal - like a dream sort of? I am torn between a constant desire to look in the mirror and a terrible fear of looking in the mirror (in case I see flaws). I knew my teeth were not going to be perfect but they good enough for me now. I will try to post before an...

Wax should be your best friend. Just as I could not have got through giving birth without copious amounts of drugs I would never have survived braces without lashings of wax on the bad days! My ortho told me to use it and gave me many free packs of the stuff so I don't believe in toughing it out. :w...

Hi Olivia - great first post! Your teeth look pretty good to me and I suspect that you would not be in braces for as long as a year (health warning; I am not an ortho!). I'm 36 and about to get my braces off on Weds. I've had the full set for 8 months and I am not going to pretend that the social si...
