Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
slow on the updates, plodding along still... the last visit was 10 weeks between wire changes using springs to open up the gap for where the false incisors will go.. that gap was plenty wide enough so they wired in two false incisors now and put elastics on to re-close the gap a mm or two to where i...

Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
was looking forward to my appointment next week after 3 months and the ortho rang to say they can see the current wires still activated in my fortnightly dental monitoring correspondence to they'll cancel the meeting, continue with the monitoring and let me know when to come in. I guess it's good th...

Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
noticed molars are starting to touch now.. only in one or two places its hard to pin point exactly what teeth on the left are touching as can't get my fingers in.. hopefully it's the sign of more to come.. might even get rid of the bite turbos by next appointment (january) now that the bottom teeth ...

Re: Braces at 33, with canine substitution (missing lateral incisors)
opposite here.. having the space opened up wider to make room for some sort of fake lateral incisors since the gaps are already about half a tooth size.. interesting to see the canine substitutions though

Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
first wire change done (8 weeks).. they put O18N in both I believe.. will note that down here before I forget.. not that I know what it means. They made the next appointment for 12 weeks which seems like so far away but will call in earlier if dental monitoring shows a need. They also put in two spr...

Re: Full Metal Braces at 35
I just read the whole progress. (no pictures permission yet), but based on what you are telling, I can see a great progress. Thanks a lot for the encouragement with the bite blocks. I have bite turbos and the week has been very slow for me. The sense of chewing anything has been so discomforting th...

Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
Still plodding along waiting for next wire change in about ten days. Have been doing the dental monitoring scan every two weeks. Last was Monday. About three days after a scan the app updates with a 3d progress video showing the tooth movement via a small outline for each tooth. Haven't been using a...

Re: 28 year old fast braces
Yep that's understandable.. Maybe you can reframe it although you thought 26 weeks the new time line seems more realistic.. If fast braces were possible surely they'd be the standard option. Regarding the depressed feeling just remember emotions come and go and that's okay. It's okay to feel them bu...

Re: A 25 yr old 'Braces' for braces (Story)
Nice work mate. The sensitivity and eating will get easier, only thing you're left with is a feeling of 'trapped' teeth.. not really painful at all.. just doesn't feel 'free'. After 1-2 weeks eating is usually back to normal, I found the more you tried to eat normally the easier and quicker it becam...

Re: my case progression thread
wow what an awesome journey mate, very inspirational.. I've lived with both top lateral incisors missing for about 15 years and the braces are working on increasing the gaps that are only around 3-4mm to fit in implants or something eventually.. I never imagined they could put a fake tooth in with a...

Re: Bottom braces and overbite
So i am getting my bottom braces this friday after having had the top ones for 3.5 months. I have a bad overbite, and i mean bad, top teeth fully covering the bottom ones bad. Now i am thinking well they're gonna put bite blocks. Maybe not now cause the overjet is gonna protect them for a while, or...

Re: When did you start noticing changes after getting braces?
about 2.5 weeks (last night lol).. I guess look at the gaps as the initial movements might be very subtle, fractions of a millimeter so gaps are the easiest place to notice if they appear.. get wider.. or close up. definitely take some pics every 7 or 14 days.. if anything you'll have history to loo...

Re: Going on 39, Insignia (Damon), Acceldent, Dental Monitoring
Nothing ground breaking but noticed the gap between my top two front teeth is visible the whole length now. Originally there was only a gap at the top to fit a floss brush through but water-flossing last night then checking in the mirror I noticed a small gap the entire length. Obviously it would be...
