It does get better! I've had mine since june and for the last few months i forget I'm wearing them except for when I'm brushing or eating bread because it gets stuck everywhere! FYI!!! Ceramic braces DO NOT stain! However the ligatures that hold the wire on do so I normally eat stainy food and drink...

Just a word of warning though - on sunday the last bracket on the bottom right came unstuck and wires came out and straightened out = poking nightmare not sure if it was uneven tooth that was a bad surface to stick to or because i favour eating on that side but I'm cutting down on the chewy foods ag...

Thank you me too, it's not too bad although the bracket that came off on sunday morning caused me a few problems with rubbing wires and the bracket getting in the way of me chewing! No i just have my blog I'm not organised enough to keep two! I love this site because I can ask the questions I don't ...

Thank you for your help they finally fit me in today after a long phone call with a very rude receptionist who said it would be "weeks and weeks for an appointment", when I mentioned i was a private patient she snapped to it, apologised and tried to find me the most convenient appointment ...

Thanks for your help guys sorry for the delay in replying, so basically i should just chill out a bit then!
I guess it all just feels a bit delicate at first but soon it should almost feel like a part of me... hopefully!

I've had my braces on for 16 days. this morning I woke up I could feel something odd when I bit down gently I looked in the mirror and saw the last bracket on my 1st molar has come away and the wire was between my bite What do I do! It's Sunday so I can ring tomorrow but as I've said on here before ...

i think because your bottom teeth have so far to move it will feel all the more satisfying once they are straight, mine look straight from the front but they are actually so squidged together at the front that they stick out loads so I'll see much more improvement from the side views in the end! I w...

Oh wow you must be so pleased that's great movement! It will all be worth it when I start to see that kind of progress!

Hey Nicolie welcome! great pictures cant wait to see how they turn out, hope your still pain free ive had a bit of a nightmare with mine and im 2 weeks in! interesting that your 4 weeks in and still sensitive to biting with incisors as im exactly the same and was hoping it would go away soon but loo...

I was eating a sandwich today and as usual the bread stuck to my braces and in my extraction gaps, before going to brush it out with my little interdental brush I tried to suck the big bits out of my gaps but then thought what if I were bending my wires? Does anyone else have this problem and know h...

I have one tooth that does this and I can't stop clicking it then I get scared that ive clicked it in the wrong direction and click it back!

I didn't get a choice of colours my ortho had already put clear ones on, after 2 weeks I have found that certain foods (butter chicken curry and lettuce) have stained them but it has brushed out after unless im just getting used to the slow staining of them! Im soon to be starting teacher training s...

Well I woke up this morning and my tongue was a bit cut up I think maybe a tooth has moved or rotated so a sharp part is rubbing it, my teeth are still too sensitive to bite but I suppose I'll make do with small squares of chocolate - the things we do!

Hows it going pickle, hope your ok? glad to hear you are eating ok!
I wish I was a clencher after almost 2 weeks im still finding it difficult to bite anything I have to rip my food up and post it into the back teeth to chew its getting old fast!

feeling much better thank you :D just the odd tooth that hurts now which I guess are the ones moving at that time, the good thing is the ones that ache the most are either side of my extraction gaps its been almost 2 weeks now, it does get better guys! tongue is a little shredded from a pointy tooth...
