Re: Question about ceramic braces removal
my ceramics came off VERY easily, no pain whatsoever. They were off in about 5 minutes or so, only difference I've heard of when removing them compared to the metal ones is that they can sometimes crack and break into pieces. That happened with 2 of them and they did not hurt. You can check out my b...

Re: 17 months & they're OFF! before, during, after
Thank you anxiousgirl, ferris572, and schar. I feel great! Braces are so worth all the time, pain and frustration and The retainer is awesome, my teeth look just as great as they did the day they came off, I'm so pleased with my results.

Re: 17 months & they're OFF! before, during, after
Thank you both so much, I am so happy I finally got braces, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! It was definitely worth all the soreness, 6 extractions with braces put on the same day, feeling like my teeth would fall out, the wires cutting into my mouth and getting my tongue stuck on bands ...

Re: May Debraces Club
I was wondering, what kind of retainers are you all getting? I was told I'd be getting an upper Essix and a permanent lower retainer. Everyone says to use RetainerBrite to clean them, but I was hesitant because it says that people who have Metal fillings have had issues with them staining their essi...

That's how I'm feeling! I only have 9 days left but they seem so be going by soooooo slow. Hmmm the fact that ...

Re: Myy appointments every 8 weeks? Is my treatment longer?
i think it depends on your teeth, everyones times are different and each case is so different that i think in order to accomplish what needs to be done sometimes it takes longer between adjustments. When i got my braces on, my 1st adjustment was about 5 weeks, the longest ive ever had to wait was 6 ...

Re: 2nd Day with braces (with PICS)
Hi! congrats on starting your journey :) I checked out your picture, i think your teeth will look absolutely amazing when you're all done!

Re: PHOTO OF MY TEETH! About to get braces off, need your ad
I think your teeth look great, I know what you're trying to say. when all my teeth were finally pulled down and aligned, As a result of all the crowding I had before braces, my right incisor looks so much longer. It had previously been sticking straight out. You can see much more of the tooth up by ...
