Wow just remembered about this website and thought I'd post an update! Almost a year since I had them off; six month smiles is the single best thing I've ever done for myself. Nine months for a lifetime of loving my teeth!!

Thanks guys :) Karibbo - you're not moaning at all don't worry! I feel your pain trust me. I couldn't smile with my mouth closed either, but after a while I developed a pout which meant I could! I honestly will miss the enhanced size of my lips when my braces go :( yes I've had bite guards since day...

This is month 1 compared to month 3. For some reason my ticker thing is a bit slow!

@anna5 thank you! I'm very happy- the dentist said my teeth are moving really quickly :D ah the elastics are ok thanks, painful and annoying though! Will be glad when I no longer need them tbh. That's good that you've come to a decision. So are you still in your braces? How much longer will you have...

@misread have you got them?? @karibbo - hello! Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm glad my posts have been helping :) please don't worry, I feel your metaphorical pain because I was terrified too, but honestly itll be so worth it! Every day you wear them is a day closer to being happy with your s...

Sorry for the late reply, time flies when its christmas/new year doesn't it?! @Anna 5, thank you, well even though the brace is called "6 month smiles", I have been quoted 9 months for my treatment. But she said that would be the maximum so I'm hoping it might be a little less :D The elast...

Hi, I've been in braces for 18 days or so and over the past three days my wires from both the top and bottom have started to pop out more and more, and now almost everytime I eat. Is this normal? Does anyone know why this is happening? I haven't changed the foods I'm eating or anything.I have an ove...

thankyou Anna5; it's good to see an improvement because these few weeks have been quite a rough ride! Seriously, I have a new found respect for anyone who has braces now! :) And sorry for taking so long to reply to your other post! Yes, I have quite a bad crossbite, so I wear one elastic band in the...

Hi! Welcome this site is great for support and information
I'm sorry you feel that way about your teeth; I can relate! But just think once you get them on and get used to them it's only a matter of time before you'll have straight teeth and a smile your happy with

Okay the weirdest thing just happened.... My lower wire felt lose and when I felt it I realised its come out of the metal bracket at the back. The little white part that was glued to the next tooth along had already come unstuck a few days ago so I pulled it off. But then.... THE EXACT SAME THING HA...
