I got my braces off today, and I am so happy with the result. After 18 months it was such a relief.

This morning he did some filing on my teeth, and now I have a gap between my upper 2 front teeth, and one between my lo...

I saw your post about candy corn, and I have actually eaten candy corn a few times, and I'm sure you will probably be able to eat it also. Candy corn really isn't that hard because it softens up when you start to chew it. Just be careful, eat one piece at a time, and make sure to brush thoroughly a...

I had x-rays taken at all 3 of my consultations, but I only had impressions taken after I had agreed to treatment with 1 of them. They might do things differently in the U.K but I would not automatically expect them to take impressions. I hope that helps. Good luck on your consultation! You'll be a...
