Thanks for the information. I decided against the veneers (it's just not for me) and decided to have alittle bonding done where there are a few open spaces. I had told my dentist about the sensitivity I was having with the whitening strips and he gave me a tube (he didn't give it to me. It cost me $...

I really appreciate all the replies. I wouldn't know what to do if I did not have this site to come to . It's funny how the people at the dentist office don't tell you what you are about to experience. I had also called the dentist office the next day and asked if the pain I was feeling was normal. ...

I had my braces removed in May and since it is close to me getting veneers I needed to whiten my teeth. The dentist office gave me Crest Whitestrips Supreme. This is a 21 day kit and the strips are to be used twice a day for 30 mins a strip. Here is my question. Yesterday was my first day at using t...

I had my braces removed on May 15th of this year. I have to see the peridontist tomorrow to talk about one front tooth where the gum has receded way to much and loss of bone..... I did not find out that I would be looking at getting veneers until I was 5 months into braces. I wore braces a little ov...

I think it is great that we no longer think we are to old to get braces. It's not just for children anymore. No longer do we think that the only way we will ever have straight teeth is to wait for the dentures to come into play. :shock: I got debraced last month after 2 1/2 yrs but the retainer make...

Here is my question. When the braces came off I got a temporary clear slip over your teeth retainer. Yesterday I got my hawley retainer. Personally I can't stand the hawley retainer but am wearing it all the time. I have meetings to go to every Sat and was wondering just on that day if I could wear ...

Right now I have a temporary retainer until the 7th of June. I had my braces removed on the 15th of this month. I have a cleaning appointment with my dentist on Monday and was wondering if I should remove the temporary retainer before I go to get my teeth cleaned or should I remove it when I get to ...

I am 47 and will be getting a Hawley retainer for my top on June 7th. I also have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth.

I am happy to say my braces came on Monday. .Here is my problem. They gave me a temporary retainer for my top teeth. It is a clear molding of my teeth that I just slip on over my top teeth. I am thinking maybe it is similar to invisalign. My problem is it is a pain getting the temporary retainer off...

My problem is it is a pain getting the temporary retainer off to eat. Is there some secret into slipping t...

Congratulations to you too kitty. How long did you have to wear your braces? I had mine for 2 1/2 yrs so it was great getting them removed. Permanent retainer on bottom and June 7th hawley on top. It sure was nice hearing that it just wasn't me having this problem. I never thought it would be so har...

I can't believe it. After 2 1/2 years I finally get my braces taken off on May 15th. :D I will get a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth and a temporary retainer for the top until June when I finally get a permanent retainer for the top. Wish I could say that I was completely done but I'm not. Sin...

I am close to having my braces removed. It's been over two years with braces. My question is this. When you are wearing the retainers are they noticeable to wear people can see them or are they pretty well hidden?
