Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Is it normal to develop a strong lisp and have trouble talking while bringing down your canines? The pain and discomfort of the whole process hasn't bothered me much until now. But I'm not sure I can handle the change in how I talk. I have a job that requires me to run meetings with clients every d...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Cheers Siobhan, reassurance always helps. I know I'm probably over-reacting, but I'm just super protective of my canines now. After all the time, money and emotional effort put into getting braces and pulling them into place, I would be absolutely devastated if something went wrong!

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Hi guys, has anyone heard of teeth "jumping"? At my last visit to the ortho, rather than a chain to pull my previously impacted canine, he put an additional wire on the tooth and connected this to my archwire. He told me that with the extra pulling from the wire sometimes teeth can "j...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
UneverJAG, let us know how you go when the putty is removed. Mine is also being removed on Tuesday and I'm getting more and more worried about the pain that will follow. I can't imagine how bad it would be working phones with this going on. I feel ya pain buddy. Sandsnake, I've had my braces for 4 m...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
UnevenJAG, I have putty over one of my canines too! I had my exposure surgery last Thursday 12th. One of my canines was left exposed and my ortho put a bracket on it and attached to my archwire with stretchy string (i think he could sense how scared i was that he was even touching the tooth one day ...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
So sorry to hear that Siobhan, sounds like a rough few days.
I'm a little worried now, since my appointment with the ortho is the following day after exposure surgery as well. Do you think it broke because the ortho was pulling too hard on the chain or that the bonding was not completely set yet?

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Hi everyone! I so am relieved I found this site, I had no idea how common impacted canines were, especially in adults (I'm 26). I have two impacted canines up top. I got my braces on 20th Feb 2014 and have my exposure and bond surgery scheduled 12th June 2014. My orthodontist is planning to activate...
