short answer: i dont care :D less short answer: i dont smile all teeth out when i walk in the street and i tend to not show my teeth much when i speak to people i dont know (i dont cover my mouth, its just i dont look people in the eye and give them bright smiles :p ) but anyway, i dont care :D it s...

bite turbos

there is something that seems quite irrational but which is also seems true: if you care, people will care (and eventually react) if you dont care, people dont care either strange but it seems to works this way :P the first week i had braces (metal upper only), i felt insecure but once i noticed tha...

I have my 3rd adjustment in about 3 weeks, so will ask my ortho about this then, but was just wondering if others are in the same position. What is all the extra waiting about? Am I just being impatient? dont take it wrong: impatient but also "ignorant" ortho need to move roots; as with i...

may be you should seek some other opinions and ask every ortho a lot of questions about the treatement plan, the diagnostic, the excepted result and then choose the option you feel is the right one. TMJ is a pain in the a**, hope youll get it sorted. Be ruthless with the orthos: the one whom answer ...

Ive tried like every night guard out there. Either not comfortable or easily wears down. Ive heard of a appliance called a Kois deprogammer. It looks alot like a hawley retainer. Is it expensive? Does anyone on this board wear one? I need a solution for this problem!!! my personal solution: learn t...

i twist the floss then i bend it; it become easier to put under the wire ... when the floss wants to stay bended at least

it sucks because as it gives no pain (i heard it happends to most people) you dont know if your teeth are moving or not

only joking

if you get no molar band, getting braces is painless one advice is to reassure yourself before hand; i was braced three days ago and the feeling freaked me at first but three days after it is already much more manageable. So reassure yourself: things changes and soon, you will be used to braces chee...

I work in HR so I got clear all around. I wouldn't consider it "chickening out" as someone has coined it. hope this was clear, it was _my feeling for _myself :) by the way, i didn't bothered about what others would have chosen and i think it helped to make a free decision, free decision s...

i thought "chicken out and go semi-stealth or go crazy and go metal" i had a lot of time to think about it but as i _am_ crazy i choosed metal was a good choice to me as with my big mouth, it doesnt show much when you speak in fact anyway ceramic or metal, people (will) know you are wearin...

hello chem, I'm getting braces in two days mainly to fix TMJ problem. What you are saying interest me a lot but I'm not sure I understand. It seems you had muscles problems, TMJ pain may be and a problem with the position of your jaw (this is often aggravated by muscles tense and muscles spams, I gu...
