Re: How do you choose an orthodontist?
A question to ask the orthodontist: (Unless your extractions were incisors or canines) Why is it necessary to remove healthy molars, open up previous extraction sites and implant false teeth? Wouldn't it make more sense to simply move everything forward, align it all and keep a mouthful of healthy, ...

Re: Very dry mouth and lips.
I just kept Chap-Stick moisturizer handy at all times. It doesn't have any flavors, scents or medications (like eucalyptus) in it.
Keep a bottle of water nearby to sip and that will help with the dry mouth.

Re: Weight GAIN and braces
My hardware was removed a week ago and I can already see my brace-weight melting off. Seems high carbs and processed crap are NOT ideal for me. I'm back to scarfing salads and hard proteins (meats...not nuts and beans)

My laptop crashed.
I can't post pics from this Droid. I can email them, I can post them to other forums I'm on, but not this one for some reason.

Re: Frustrated and ready to quit
I think far fewer people notice our hardware than we believe. Before I had braces, I never paid any attention to what was in somebody else's mouth. Sometimes I would see a flash of metal, but overall, I never really registered it. I was way more cognizant of other people's treatment while mine were ...

Re: Drinking tea/coffee with braces
Whitening toothpaste is usually quite abrasive. I try to avoid it at all cost. Was I supposed to give up coffee? Oh, dear....guess I messed that one up. You may have a little staining regardless of what you do. If it bothers you, see your dental hygienist more often for cleaning around your braces. ...

Re: Nine
I had to clip a little divot into the center front of the lower retainer to allow room for that little "string" that attaches my lower lip to my gum. That was the retainer giving me so much trouble last night. It feels fine, now.

Re: Nine
My teeth hurt a little similar to immediately after an adjustment. It will be a little getting used to the retainers. I'm only to wear them at night so the teeth can become strong on their own again.
It feels a little funny on my lips without the hardware, but I'll get used to that in no time.

Re: Nine
I have Essix style retainers.
It may be a couple of days until I can post the pics.

Re: Nine
I asked to have my before and afters emailed to me, then I'll have to post them from my laptop. My phone won't post to this forum.
My results are amazing! My overjet was reduced from 12mm to 5mm.
My first meal is Cracker Jacks and beef jerky. LMAO!

Re: Not seeing any change
I didn't see any movement for nearly two months at the beginning of my treatment. I was so frustrated, I was ready to quit. Then things started happening, in fairly rapid succession. I started seeing changes weekly. Give it time. You may have very healthy bones that don't want to break down so the t...

Re: what's the purpose for.......
I have not taken any breaks. I would advise against it. Not because it will mess up your progress so much as bare brackets will turn your cheeks and lips into hamburger.
