I definitely know what you mean! I'm worry about so much and I know sometimes it helps me if I just talk to someone. I hope everything works out great for you and that your worrying was for nothing. :wink:

Haha! I had this happen to me also, but I was eating Doritos. :oops: Luckily I was able to fix it pretty quickly.

I'm really not sure, but have you tried salt water rinses? I read about it in the forums a while back saying that it helps with tooth sensitivity. I would try that or maybe someone else has an idea. If it's extremely painful, I would call the ortho, or maybe call them anyways, to see if they can re...

"omg that wasn't supposed to happen, why didnt you call us? now your treatment is going to be delayed!" :lol: Just the way you worded that is funny. (In a good way) I would give your ortho a call anyways. They should expect calls occasionally that aren't "emergency", but still s...

That really doesn't sound normal to me. I would probably call your ortho, usually they have some sort of emergency number or voicemail that you can use. Usually they will call right back if it is something that is really bothering you. Hope everything is okay!

Gratz! Sounds like you are excited and it's so great to have the support of the people you know. Hope everything goes quickly for you. I'm almost at a year and still have another to go- if not more than that. Have fun and welcome to the board!

8) Welcome to the forums. I say go for it, the faster you get started, the faster you have the smile that you've always wanted. Hopefully the discount thing works, wouldn't that be nice?! Lurking is when people read posts, but don't reply. Have fun with the whole braces thing though! Were you think...

That sounds frustrating! Did you ask your ortho why he changed his mind? You could stress the importance of your wedding, but maybe the healing for the implant would take time away from your braces being finished. Is the fake tooth extremely noticable?
Hope everything gets straightened out!

I love Superfloss, it really works great. I haven't had problems with it shredding and it's easy to thread through the braces. I tried to use regular floss with a threader and the floss would constantly slip out of the loop on the threader. Superfloss made flossing easier for me, so i would recommen...

Really not a huge amount of progress, though the ortho said by the time i go in next time it will be a huge difference. (6 weeks from now) A couple of days ago i finally got all my ...

Your teeth look amazing! I started treatment not too long after you did, and i'm still so far from even looking finished. :( Love seeing the progress in your pics, it's helps to look forward to something!
