I am due to get these off sometime before or in December and I am noticing stains on my teeth. I pointed out a couple small ones to my hygenist last time I went in and when I got home, they were still there like she didn't even touch them! I am worried I am going to get these off and not even want ...

DizzyKitty Thanks for posting this really encourage me to wait and that there is hope, I've only been braces for a week now, And I really won't to see some changes. Did you go through a lot of pain getting that canine in place? I had springs to make room for it then they attached it to the rest the...

I bought a comfort cover and it's still sitting in my medicine cabinet almost a yr and a half later...never needed it. Wax does the job when needed. Now for the Dentakit? Oh ya, that was one of the best investments I made (besides the braces themselves of course) and my WaterPik. I just keep the De...

Figured I would post some progress pics to give some hope to those newly braced...it does get better, see? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/kittykosmic/octoberblue02.jpg Ugh, yeah they were bad. That was October 2005. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/kittykosmic/mayturq01.jpg Here is June 2...

Your teeth look awesome! What good progress

Your teeth look awesome! Eat a big chunk of caramel for me

I only clench my teeth at night when they hurt, like for the first couple of days after an adjustment then it goes away.

It woke me up too then I'd try to relax them but once my teeth were feeling less "achy", it goes away.

I had them about 6 months in to pull down a wayward canine then they were pulling the top down because I was flaring out...those were the canine to canine ones. I then had the top canine to back bottom molar on one side to correct my midline for a couple months then I was set free. I don't know if ...

Beware of tortilla chips - nearly choked to death recently on a bit of tortilla chip (which, incidentally, I didn't scrunch up as I normally do) - a nasty big trianglur shaped piece got firmly lodged in my throat ... my life flashed before me ... I was home alone ... quickly I drank some hot water ...

I am wearing one from my upper right canine to my lower back molar to fix my midline. This is the second round and it was to the bottom 2nd molar before and it hadn't moved (that I could see). The assistant asked if I was wearing them as scheduled. Of course I am...I never take them out, even to ea...

I got a powerchain on top now too. Other than that and a heavier wire, I still use the elastics canine to canine up and down. They seem to be working. I can see that flaring/open bite they created is closing now. Here's a rundown of my 8 months in pics. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/kittykos...

I got elastics at 6 months (2 months ago), just canine to canine in the front up and down. I don't really notice them now. I will try to jam food into my mouth and have it bounce back at me LOL. They did hurt the first few days really bad but I also got a powerchain the same day so it was pure pain...

"Go on your computer and look at teeth for awhile" LOL too cute. My son is 9 and he likes to pick out the next color I will get. Every so often he will ask me to smile then he will study them and say "looks like everything is coming along fine mommy". Or "You teeth look bea...
