Hi jem, Thanks for the reply. Being honest my own experience of when my ortho and or/dentist has taken impressions, (four seperate occasions) was that they really weren't adding much value at all, in fact I felt that on the occasion when my ortho took two impressions (for the two Essixs I had made a...

Hi All, Ortho has quoted me £150 for Essix replacement, I wanted a second as a back up so £300 total! Searching for better value I found the below, I could get the two lowers that I need for just £100! Decent reviews on Amazon but would appreciate any input from the forum? Thanks UPPER - 19 REVIEWS ...

Have had my Bottom bonded retainer since July 2013, so 2 years 8 months. A very positive review as it works fine and I hardly notice. Also I know had I not had a bonded retainer my teeth would have moved whereas they are still in very good shape. I am going to see my ortho again though since in the ...

Thanks for all the help on this thread guys. :-1 I had a quick appt with my Ortho today and he said that we will try to sort out those couple of teeth. I am going back in 6 weeks for a longer appointment to have a wire with a bend/kink placed on. Nothing like forum power to give the little man a fig...

Thanks for your reply Kipepeo. :thumbsup: Also, you appear to have an open bite, but maybe you are just not biting all the way closed in your first photo. If you are closed, then to me it appears your bottom canine teeth hit pretty prominently on your uppers. My bite is slightly open but not as much...

Thanks for your reply loradora.

The idea of a kink/bend in the wire looks good.

I would welcome further comments and opinions, thanks guys.

Thanks for your reply kreyFL, exactly the type of info I needed.

I would welcome further comments and opinions, thanks guys.

Thanks for your reply kreyFL. :HugeGrin: You can certainly focus on those teeth and accomplish what you want In your opinion would this sort of movement be possible just with the simple current fixed brace that I have without any more exotic attachments like headgear? I would welcome further comment...

Hi guys I am close to the end of my time in braces (on my lower teeth) but having assessed I would like to be able to discuss some adjustments with my Ortho. So that I can bring a specific query to my ortho - I would appreciate it if you could please post opinions on whether you think it is possible...

Although I have been in braces for the last 26 months I am still not sure of what they can and can't actually do in regards to tooth movement. So that I can bring a specific query to my ortho - Is it possible to move my lower lateral incisor and canine both out and slightly rotated in such a way to ...

To be honest - I wouldn't be happy either. Your bite looks open at the front, and I would want a better closed teeth smile aesthetically than you have. Thanks for the comment libbylou, I see what you are saying about my bite, just spent the last few minutes assessing my bite. Is it that your orthod...

Post a normal pic of you smiling from front and sides, I think most people's teeth wouldn't look the best with their lips stretched liked that! Thanks kennyandrew, I think those pics give a good comparison of my teeth before and after particularly since I can't go back and change the before pics to...
