Re: Final meal before braces
This topic is making me so hungry even though I just had creamed spinach and salmon. A week or so before getting braces I remember going to LongHorn getting the biggest steak on the menu!! Ooooooooo how I miss my steak with A-1 sauce. Also I just miss my chips (Salt and vinegar kettle chips) biting ...

Re: Kimmie's Road To A Beautiful Smile (PICS)
Hi Everyone, Well here is a quick update before I go on Tuesday to the ortho. So for the first time since I got braces I actually had to pull out the WAX!!! I actually had to find out where I put it. Out of nowhere on my bottom lip my brackets have rubbed a sore. I think it must be my teeth moving a...

Re: How many did you do?
I had 8!! I will never forget having them installed. My bottom arch was so stubborn and ended up having those on a month in which the ortho installed because the assistant could not get them in as they kept breaking. I only had my top spacers on about a week I think.

Re: Spacers?
Some people get spacers before braces and some afterwards. It just depends on what your ortho plan is. I agree with the others about asking what the plan is. My bottom teeth were so stubborn that I had my bottom spacers on for about a month. They went ahead and put the brackets on though. It was a p...

Re: Every how often do you tighten your braces?
I actually go every 3-4 weeks and sometimes I'll go back in 2 depending on what my ortho has planned. I guess it depends on the patient and what the ortho is trying to accomplish!!

Re: First day with all metal brackets
Hey, Welcome to the boards. Your best meals at first will be the soft foods so all you have to do is swallow. For about the first month or longer I lived on fish then I gradually made my way back to regular foods. I would also suggest fresh fruit smoothies if you have a blender. I had those a lot at...

Re: Braces Journey from Chaotic Choppers - Australia
CC!!! Can't wait to hear what happens at your next appointment. I think you should go with either teal or coral ligs!! I think I'm going to try the grey/silver ligs. I was thinking you have to try them at least once during your braces career!!! :D I am still excited for you to possibly have yours of...

Re: Kimmie's Road To A Beautiful Smile (PICS)
Poor Kimmie!!! Not fish again!!! I'll be eating it too next week (I think) because my appointment is going to include placing new brackets on my last molars to bring them in line and close the new gaps :/ I don't know what procedure they're doing to you but it doesn't sound fun! I hope it all goes ...

Re: Kimmie's Road To A Beautiful Smile (PICS)
I'm not sure about the procedure you are talking about, but most of my hooks have been added as I need them. Some are posts that have fitted into the brackets. Some are wires with loops that they wrap around my brackets. I've been in braces 19 months and I'm up to 20 hooks. I've had a bit of irrita...

Re: Kimmie's Road To A Beautiful Smile (PICS)
Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise because up to that point nothing had registered even a 2 on the pain scale. For me, it was a piece of linked metal (I think) that they connected to my braces on one side and then wrapped around the front and fastened it on the other side. It only took a minute or tw...

Re: Elastics causing uneven bite - normal?
My teeth were hitting in front maddeningly. I was worried about chipping. Was in for another reason and mentioned this. On went this wire chain thing with which they pulled my lowers back. Like to have died. Told the assistant I should have kept my mouth shut. It has helped though quite a bit. @ is...
