Re: Mouth sores
I haven't tried these, but Dentalkit.com had some things called Comfort Covers. Basically looks like a piece of plastic that covers the braces. Maybe you could try those?

Re: Braces for grinding and headaches
Now that you've had your braces on for a bit, do you feel like they've helped with your grinding? I didn't know that correctly aligned teeth "can't" grind. According to my boyfriend I grind my teeth all the time when I sleep (which he hates) and I never knew it could be fixed. I am started...

Re: Water flossers
Thanks for the info! I think I'll talk to my ortho to see what she has to say as well before I go for it.

Re: Carriere Motion and Braces as an Adult
[quote="noodles"]Congrats on making the decision :) It was similar with me, nobody thought I needed braces and it took me so much time to figure that *I* wanted them :) What's the Carriere Motion supposed to do? I thought I'd researched all appliances there are (out of curiosity, cause I d...

Water flossers
Hey guys!
I've seen a bunch of people talking about how amazing water flossers are but I'm wondering if I can get input on if it can be used to replace manual flossing? They all seem to say that they can be but we all know marketing can be misleading.

My boyfriend and parents all say that they don't think that I need braces, but this is for me, not them. So I decided to go ahead with braces (Yikes! Super nervous) after...
