I trust my orthodontist and have told him multiple times that he can do whatever he thinks is best.

Thank you for the concern. Any pain reduction suggestions?

1. My overbite was going to start creating problems.
2. My teeth were much straighter within 3 months.
3. No.

I guess I wanted to double post.

My orthodontist gave me my new teeth today! My 2 top front teeth have always looked like "buck" teeth because the 2 teeth next to them were WAY too small to be in my adult mouth. So today my ortho built my teeth. I'm ecstatic, I cried when I saw them. They are beautiful. I could not be hap...

Thank you! I'll slow my roll. I'm just worried I'm going to mess something up.

TLDR: I am unable to hook one of my elastics, should I call my orthodontist this weekend or wait until Monday? I just got braced on Thursday. I have a full set top and bottom. My ortho prescribed(?) Elastics that go from my first molar on the bottom to my..2nd bicuspid (according to google). I'm ok ...

Thank you!

I tried some string cheese today...that was a joke. I felt like I was trying to suck the life and flavor out of it, chewing isn't possible, none of my teeth touch.

Oh my gosh...I don't know if I can do this. My teeth are so...itchy (for lack of a better word). Nothing I do is making them feel better. Why do we pay thousands of dollars for this torture?? Ugh!!!

Sorry for the weird autocorrections. My phone is so weird...and I can't edit my post. So I meant...I have bumpers on my bottom middle brackets to prevent my top teeth from hitting them.

I did it! A whole new mouth, full of braces. The wire doesn't go all the way back, but all my brackets are on. I have bumpers on my bottom middle teeth so my topinion teeth to touch them. I also got bands. I was surprised, but since my molars don't touch they are moving my jaw together...so now I ha...

Hi everyone. I joined this forum, because after 15 years of puthing it off...I'm getting braces. Tomorrow. I'm 26 and I have an overbite and bad jaw issues. I'm not sure if I'm getting a full set of braces tomorrow, or just the tops because of my overbite. I'm a planner girl so I have tried to gathe...
