Good Luck kellyonz100! Hope that everything goes well with your process and that you are pleased with the brackets that your ortho uses..MMM chocholate moulds.. :lol: lucky you! I had that awful tasting pink stuff...yuk :shock: Your teeth will be sore for the first week or so, but I am super happy t...

My ortho has about 4 chairs in the one room about 4 feet apart and then two seperate rooms where they do the consults and xrays and moulds and I think where they take the braces off. Yeah it is weird, and lucky to all of you who have seperate rooms :) ....but I think it is a cost efficient way for t...

Hey gracie381!

Welcome to the group (officially)...but honestly...glad that you are starting the journey with us...

Congrats...and hopefully you will not be too sore in the coming days...

Take care,

Hello Moli, good to know that you are starting this wonderful journey with us all... :D I know that i have ceramics on top and went with the tooth coloured ligs cause the braces were a big change for me...but I am feeling that after a couple of months I might go a little crazy...like the tourquoise ...

Congrats akabraces! You will not regret this - might wonder why you are doing it at times when your mouth is tender...but overall it is not too bad.. :) ...the spacers are not too bad - for me anyhow...they were more annoying than anything...your teeth are sore for a couple of days and that is it..a...

Thanks for responding to my message...sarcpres - I will call the ortho and see if they can cut it again for me... :? Lucyloop - that is how mine started but it quickly went from a small bother to a real pain....thanks for the link - I might try to bend it with an eraser or something hard and see if ...

Hello guys, I got my TPA and archwire for my upper braces last week and I am doing much better than I was last week...it only took about 4 or 5 days and I was doing much better! :D I even got to eat some turkey dinner...just cut it up very small and chewed very carefully... :D I have a question abou...

Hey Dizzykitty,

welcome to our wonderful community...all the best with your new braces...things will be changing shortly and those fangs will be long gone..

Congrats on the decision to be braced....

Take care,

Hey Sedona, I just got a TPA last week and completely understand where you are coming from. But I have found that I have adjusted slightly over the course of the last week...but it does take time and I know I still whistle when I say F's and S's and some words I can't pronounce... :shock: but it is ...

Hey Chris, Sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time - especially cause you had a tough time getting to the decision to have the braces put on and now you are dealing with this.. :( But do your best to keep positive cause it makes difficult situations manageable and I know that this will a...

KK - Good luck on your 2nd adjustment and let me know what happens...I will be just about there for my first so i will be anxious by then!! Haha :lol: I do completely trust my ortho - one of the main reasons I went with him as he is a very down to earth person that I felt very comfortable talking to...

Congrats anticipator on starting your journey to a beautiful smile! You will be glad that you are finally starting something that you have wanted to do for a long time...like many of us!

Congrats to you momof2grlz! The time will fly by for you...

Evelyn..sorry that you have had to wear them for yhears...hopefully your time is coming soon...keep positive...if you can!

Take care..

I think that it sounds right that it would not stain. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks, but i can't see that my ortho would recommend it if there was any problems with staining...

Good to hear SW that when you took your brackets off there were no marks after a year...

Take care..

Hi Guys! :) Great to hear that things are going really well with your treatment plan so far...I don't go for my 1st adjustment until Nov 14 and my ortho said that I will keep the same archwire on for the next couple of visits... :cry: but I guess he has a good enough reason for that... Anyhow...cong...
