How do I get my teeth smooth again?
I had my braces taken off about a week and a half ago (yay!) and am wearing the Essex retainer on top (waiting for the bottom retainer to come in) but my teeth feel rough, like there is still some residue from the cement/glue from the braces. Someone said to go and see my dentist, they can get it of...

I'm having the same problem. My retainer is the clear one and goes up to the roof of my mouth, and when I take it out in the morning, it STINKS (like bad morning breath). After I eat I brush or rinse with mouthwash, but even now, I took the retainer out, and it smelled again! They gave me some Fixod...

I have this problem too with my bottom wire, I just got an adjustment a few weeks ago and the wire keeps sliding over to one side and when I smile, my cheek will actually get caught on it! So, I know I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I just take some tweezers and slide it back over a little bi...

First adjustment update with pics!
Well, I had my first adjustment last week, he didn't change the wires, he will at the next appointment (another 6 weeks) but I am amazed at how quickly things are moving! Here are a few pics, from the first day to after the first adjustment. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Reba627/Bottom20bra...

Keeping ceramic brackets their cleanest
I tried searching for some answers but couldn't find any...how do you keep your ceramics looking their brightest? My teeth have always been nice and white, I don't drink coffee or smoke or eat too many foods that would stain my teeth, and my teeth still look okay, but the ceramic brackets against th...

Wire came out of middle bracket
Well, I posted a few days ago about how my wire popped out of my back bracket, did it again yesterday, this time on both sides. One side was more bent but still in the back bracket, but the other side came completely out and I finally got it back in. I was just flossing and my bottom teeth are reall...

Wire came out!
I was at a friends house tonight munching on some snacks and I was chewing on something and my tooth suddenly felt really weird, so, thinking that it was just a piece of food stuck in between the brackets, I checked the mirror...but no, I saw the wire sticking out of the area where I had my extracti...

I've had mine on for a week now and I've only needed the wax twice. I haven't had the wire poking at the sides, I agree with the other poster about having them clipped, my problem is my bottom brackets are scraping the inside of my lip (they did this the day after I had the braces put on too) so I'm...

They're on!!!
Well, my braces are finally on! I went this morning and an hour and a half later, had a new set of hardware on my teeth! It feels really weird though, and the inside of my lips (more on the bottom) are scraped up. I'm not in any pain right now, but they said that I would be in some discomfort tomorr...
