I would go for braces if i were you. You dont have any teeth that are turned or twisted dramaticly. But, you do have problems. If you get braces it will fix it all and, you will even be able to put your bottom and top teeth together perfectly and it wont feel or look odd. I didnt think my teeth were...

Im praying that you two start a trend with early removal!!
Congrats!

I asked my dentist and ortho about "over brushing" they both assured me that i couldnt do that. They both told me it can only damage your gums if your not careful and that it wont hurt my teeth or enamel at all. If you are using tooth paste and a soft bristle tooth brush i wouldnt worry. J...

lol!! thats so funny because my wire broke on wen. night but it was in the back just before my molar. My ortho said he would change it if i wanted but that since its in the back it wont really delay my treatment. But, i get my first adjustment in 2 weeks and dont wanna drive 40 min to his office im ...

i see some progress in your teeth. I took some 1 month photos of mine and i see only a few small changes. I found eating pizza makes my front teeth sore but has helped them start to move faster. Because i have been bitiing pieces off instead of cutting them off. Just thought id share the tip. :wink:...

Hi, im a female 27 years old. No i didnt put a story here. I did post some photos in a thread titled Braced .... regreatfully or something like that if you want to look it up. I might start a story after my first adjsutment. Im just not as creative or exciting as other peopel i guess. lol :? BTW you...

hi, the way you summed up dealing with people you work with and going out on saturday was great! I think we all get those same kinds of reactions. I dont understand why some people are not understanding at all. It will all be worth it in the end though when we have million dollar looking smiles!! :B...

Nice video! I have never knew watching someone brush their teeth would be interesting, but it was! Looks like you got the hang of it quickly. I see you have a waterpik. Does it have good water pressure? If it does what model is it. Im thinking about getting one.

Hi,

Congrats on being braced!! I watched your videos and cant wait to see your progress. It is exciting to see movement of any kind, with luck you will be seeing some soon! I hope you are feeling good today.

Braced32, my ortho still recommends flossing. I have the sonicare that is made for braces. Its the e3000 i got mine from my ortho but i have seen them at target for about 29.99 I also have a 100.00 sonicare from before i had braces. but i dont think its any better than the 30.00 one my ortho gave me...

Hey, I also Found that the sonicare I got feels much better on my teeth than the manual one!! So odd isnt it.

If you want them off he cannot make you keep them on.

Hey Jenny, Just thought id drop in your story since we got braced the same day. Have you got the Waterpik yet? Im interested in hearing if it works very good and, which model works the best. :-} I have been using crest whitening rinse which has no alcohol and it has peroxide which helps loosen any p...

Wow,
I agree your ortho should of picked up on the gum thing at your consult! Your lips and cheeks wont hurt but a couple days so you wont be suffering till the 24th. sorry about what happened. I wish you lots of luck on this.

You should call your ortho and ask what kind they are. They wont mind your question im sure. Then you might be able to find out how they work on line. My bottom ones are ovation R's and they are more small squres not rectangles also. My tops however are ovation c's. Hope that helps :D http://i275.ph...
