Re: Braces on PI day = Ultimate Geekdom

Now Festivus I know but I've never heard of 3-14 referred to as "PI Day". Live and learn. Thanks Jethro!

Re: Dental Hygienist here wanting to ask some questions...

No offense intended but shouldn't you be asking the orthodontist you work for these questions? Why would you be putting braces on patients if you don't have a working knowledge of the procedure?

Re: Does anyone hate adjustments as much as I do?

I look forward to adjustments too. I just had one this morning. I got a rectangular wire on the bottom to replace the old round wire and am now wearing elastics! The orthodontist apologized for doing this to me right before Christmas. I said, "don't apologize, I embrace the pain!" No pain ...

I don't think there would be an issue if you got pregnant during your treatment. Just make sure you are compatible with your orthodontist and if you feel he'd make a good father! Ha Ha :lol:

Your post sounds like it could have been written by me when I was at your point. To make matters worse, at my first appointment after getting braces, I didn't even get a wire change. What a let-down. I was beginning to wonder if perhaps I had that extraordinary set of teeth that just wouldn't respon...
