:shock: Stellar arches. The front 4 are the quickest to move, I can see it be done in +/- 6 months Nice. Somewhat curious if the costing is the same regardless of time-line. +/- 6000 for the whole story over 2 years seems to being the norm. In your case tops and bottoms braced for 6 months, what di...

Hi all! These are some photos of my braces... I have one crooked tooth, upper front - also some slight crowing on the bottom front teeth. Took out all 4 of my wisdom teeth and got a deep cleaning before I started My ortho says I'll be done in 6 months time total but honestly I'm a little skeptical! ...

Your smile is BEAUTIFUL. I'm jealous! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the pics, and good luck with your treatment!

WOW!!! How long until you take them off? Your teeth are looking VERY nice, I'm totally amazed...

Thank you for your posts, it really helps a lot to be able to talk to people who are going through similar situations. I have my next adjustment this Thursday - I am going to take new pictures then and post them. :) Haha I canNOT quit iced coffee so my ligatures are quite stained, I want the new pic...

Yes I want to get both top and bottom arches done. My orthodontist charges $750 per arch...

Hi there! I still have my braces on but had a question about "splinting." I am going to get this splinting done after my braces are off in a few months - basically they splint your arches from behind the teeth with this ceramic strong stuff instead of retainers - so that the teeth stay str...

Hi. I still have my braces on (I envy you!!) but I've been reading up online A LOT of these issues, and you must go get that sanded away by the doc. Apparently it's super-super-super-clue and you won't be able to get rid of it.

G'luck!

Hi all! I'm very glad to have found a forum for adults with braces. I went to one of those "straight teeth in 6 months!" dentisits. I really wish I had my "before" picture - I could only find a picture where I was smiling with my mouth open (which I rarely did) I've only had the ...

I totally feel your pain! :? I have ceramic on top and bottom, and although I haven't really thought to ask my orthodontist whether he offers other colors or not, I really should. I had NOT heard about the whole CURRY thing and went and had curry within 5 days of getting my ceramic braces on... WOAH...
