I thought they were not working, one day I checked my midline , as everyday , and noticied that my teeth had moved , fin...

Re: The end is in sight! (Hopefully)

I don't want to rain on your parade but I have been on my last wire on my upper set of teeth for 3 months and on my lower set of teeth for 1 month, I think I have another 3 months to wait

Deviated midline

The midline of my upper teeth is 3 mm off the centre, I started to use elastic rubber bands to correct it. My question is how long does it take to be centred ? I never noticed before until my ortho mentioned.

Thank you

Re: No pain after 1 week in Damon braces... Is this normal?

I am surprised that you have felt no pain until now. The day after I got braced I could not eat, my teeth were very sensitive. However, after 3 days I was fine.  When I got my last wire changed it was painful again, not as bad as the first 3 days of treatment though.
I have damon braces (metal)
