I may be getting my braces off at the end of next month! I have a "check-up" appointment on the 16th of Sept. and a hopeful deband appointment on the 23rd of Sept. if everything goes well between now and the 16th. I have a question. Here are some pics of my teeth right now. Sorry the pics ...

From my orthodontist I got a coupon for $15 off of the purchase of the Sonicare Flexcare, Elite or Essence series. Which model is the best?

Is a Sonicare worth it?

Thank you!

Thanks!

I had an adjustment on Apr. 29. It was pretty basic. Same old... same old. They took the powerchain off. Then the bottom ligs. The ortho popped by, took out the wires, then put new ones in. But different powerchains on the top in the same colour. He put blue ligs on the bottom. They complimented me ...

I haven't got my braces off yet and won't for a while. At my consult at the beginning of my "journey" they said I'd get an Essix retainer on the top arch and a bonded retainer on the bottom. I was wondering has anyone had a bonded retainer on the bottom and also had an Essix retainer to we...

That's so cool! Congrats!! Lovely surprise to a blah start of the day!
