sorry to interrupt. just to say I also have the regular damon 3's and I am very satisfied. my teeth are starting to move and I don't feel discomfort from the brackets at all.

regards.

with me it was about 3 weeks because I had to buy the braces myself.

I am very sorry to hear this happened to you.
When bad things happen I try to cope with them imagining tht something much worse didn't happen. The braces will definetly help you to improve your teeth and make your face and smile look better in the long run.

Good luck with all.

I have damon 3's for like a week now and I realy like them and feel comfortable. the ortho said they will work well in creating a fuller arch and straight teeth in lss time than what would be expected from regular braces.

good luck with your decision.

I have Damon 3's and my ortho said he has experience with these and that they do not break off frequently. In addition, he recommends them because they can move teeth a bit faster than other braces he has used.My personal opinion is that braces will brake off only if you chew hard stuff and do thing...

congratulations on getting braced. you are quite young still, and believe me, things are faster and easier for the younger bracket users. Just do things correctly, be careful not to interrupt the process, and your teeth will be straight and nice for those graduation pics. Good luck and welcome to th...

I guess archire "time" varies a lot. My ortho says I will only use two archwires in 12 months, and then a retainer. I was surprised when I heard that, but I know he has been trained for this.
Trust your ortho as he knows better what is best for you.

Good luck !

I have damon3's and I feel my front teeth are starting to get loose real fast. I touch them and it feels exactly like when I was a kid and a tooth started to get ready to fall. I guess it is not a neccesarily bad thing if your teeth are loose. But be careful with them since eating something hard or ...

thanks to all for your replies!

Indeed, I guess it is just part of the process. I will eat pasta and soft things until I gain confidence to chew again.

I am so glad this site exists!

excellent info Bbsadmin, I have so much trouble getting the photos into focus!

By the way, thsank you for the site. I got braced 5 days ago and this site is extremely helpful and fun!

Thanks to you and thanks to all the members!

I have had crocked teeth since I was about 12. One otrho daid I needed to grow first and then some procedure could be done. Then I went to the ortho some years later but I was still too inmature to realize how important braces were so I didn`t want them. Then I went to study in Canada (I am peruvian...

Hi. I got damond 3's 4 days ago. I am worried/surprised because my I get mild headaches when I wake up and they disapear after a few minutes. but what I am worried the most about is the pain I feel on my teeth. Some of them hurt just because I touch them!! I have a very hard time chewing the tendere...

I am glad you feel ok now. I went the very next day to my ortho's office to have the molar brackets revised cuz I was feeling a very sharp pain. Also he applied some wax. Now I feel a lot better too.

Good luck to us all!

That was a great question. I am on my 3rd day with braces and I only feel a bit of pain when I bite witrh my two front teeth,which are my most crocked ones. I am not sure if they are moving or loosening but I am confident that it will happen. I will pay attention to how well can I floss now and comp...

Thanks to all for your comments. I understand it much better now.
I asked my family to get some kind of surgery, but the ortho said my case does not require it. I guess time will tell.

cheers to all!
