I found the worst bit of having my top brace removed was when the ortho kept catching my other teeth with the pliers. I thought he was going to crack them!

I recently noticed my left upper incisor has a greyish tinge to the upper part of it just above the bracket. The lower part seems to be ok and the back of the the tooth is not discoloured. I have been scaring myself by reading that it could be caused by nerve damage and that the tooth may die and dr...

Hi niteowl I can understand your concerns after your ortho acted in an arrogant way. When I was 38 and being braced for the 2nd time, this was approx 1996 and it wasn't that popular for adults to wear braces as it is now.The ortho i went to see for the consultation answered my questions and told me ...

Hi Maydel. Just been reading these old posts about sunken faces and would love to know are you still braced and are you happy with the outcome?

It's not for a few months yet but I am really worried over having the brackets and bands removed when the treatment is finished. Does the cemennt really not do any damage to your enamel after a couple of years?? I am worried that the enamel may crack under the strain of removal. Am I worrying over n...

Hi Martin, My ortho does a teeth whitening service. They have competitions every now and again to win it. It would be good if they threw in a whitening service at the end of treatment or just give us discount! Your photography buisness sounds a great venture. Good luck with it, as like you say black...

Hi Martin, Just read about your brace failure but glad you got it all sorted out ok. The gaps which were showing when I smiled are starting to close up now, but are making gaps at the back. I don't know if the orto has plans to move the back teeth forward but I'm going every four weeks now so that i...

Hi Martin I haven't posted on here for quite a while. I saw your new pics, congratulations on the new look of your teeth! They look fab. I'm still in the process of having the gap at either side closed up on my uppers. I am now going every 4 weeks instead of 6. I've no idea how long I have to go now...

cancelled 2nd post as same repeated

Hi! Thats interesting about that mouth ulcer paste. We are going to New York next month for 3 nights so i will stock up on it! My mouth is still sore at the back where it's catching my cheek. I have my 6th adjustment coming up so hope to get it sorted out then too. Martin, i can't get over how well ...

Hi Martin .
Noticed you haven't posted for a while. Hope everything is going ok. Back of my mouth is sore where the wire is rubbing, and like you say applying wax is alright but keeps dropping off. Got my 6th adjustment coming up so hope to get it sorted out soon.

Hi Martin. Just dropped in to say hello. Your new pics are great. The pain you will feel when that tooth starts moving into place will almost be enjoyable knowing it won't be long! My teeth are still tender today but not half as bad as the other day, but still can't eat any biscuits etc. which is go...

Hi Martin, like you i haven't visited this site for a while, novelty had worn off also seeing photos of my teeth is quite depressing so i guess i was just generally fed up. I think i had my brace fitted roughly around the same time as you, so i always catch up with your progress when i visit this si...

Hi Shellie, I became a member of this site earlier in the year, and hadn't visited it for a while. I just had my 5th adjustment the other day and i am quite happy with the progress. I am sure you wil feel the same once your braces are fitted. I also had two teeth removed and i honestly thought how a...
