Re: how many teeth show when you smile?
Wow!! BeautifulDisaster, your smile and teeth look amazing!! :D metalliKa, I also showed none before braces! So much so that even though my teeth were REALLY messed up, people didn't even realize as I NEVER showed them - people still asking why I got braces because I never had skew teeth?!? (In my m...

Re: oh no :( spacers :(
Well i just looked at it this way.... Get through the spacers and then EVERYTHING else is a breeze! It is the worst part of braces, so getting it over and done with in the beginning is great! Use your pain meds! Good luck, all of this is SO worth it!!

Re: Bite slanting during treament?
I'm in my 6th month and I've also just noticed that my bite seems slanted towards my left side. I see my ortho next week, so will let you know what the outcome is for me.

Re: biggest advances in your treatment
I have a rogue tooth that came in, in my palate behind my canine tooth (which was also in the wrong position - came in next to my front teeth) - canine tooth has been slowly moving over to its right spot - been 6 months and finally the gap it made was big enough to start movement on bringing that ro...

Re: My braces story - progress as I go along
So today I saw my ortho again and FINALLY after months of making a gap big enough for my rogue tooth to fit into, the gap was deemed big enough!!!!! I was then fitted with a button behind the rogue tooth and a power chain was fitted around the back of the tooth and the teeth on either side - and the...

Re: My braces story - progress as I go along
So its been a while since I have posted an update! I have just been super busy! :) anyways, not much has changed since my last post except that I upgraded to a thicker wire on top... My last rogue tooth still hasn't been able to join the archwire yet as there wasn't enough space for it at my last ap...

Re: 5 weeks in and teeth look way worse! Is this normal?!
Exact same thing happened to me, I thought to myself at the time that things were waaaaay worse and what had I done to myself LOL - for about a month my teeth looked awful while they made space for a few of my teeth to slot into the correct places, but now I couldn't be happier! My teeth are startin...

Re: Best ligatures for ceramic uppers?
I have ceramic braces and have clear ligs every time, for some reason they don't seem to stain (I don't drink coffee though) - I have however eaten curry and eat tomato based foods all the time and they have not gone a funny colour. Maybe try a silver or grey colour or try the clear works for me

Re: Braces next week!
Spacers for me were the WORST part of braces so far. I had 4 teeth extracted and have had a few adjustments since having my braces placed and none of that came close to the constant aching pain of the spacers! I was on pain killers for the whole 2 week duration of spacers (even waking at night from ...
