I had NO IDEA the animal on the package means something???? I thought it was just to entertain the kiddoes who usually frequent Braceville.

I have Peregrine Falcons !!!!

Hey I got mine on Saturday (the 16th.) I only had a little pain at the end of the first day. But it is really weird to eat with these things so that's the challenge. Now I'm day 3 and the pain has NOT been that bad! I woke up with a bit of a throb in my front 6 teeth but once the ibuprofen kicked i...

maybe hair?

Thanks for the tips! I've been planning to stock up on wax, I already get canker sores as it is so I'm a bit nervous about that part. I get my braces on in 8 days so I'm super excited and nervous all at the same time and still looking for quick and easy to make soft foods, along with all the great ...

Should I try different toothpaste, schedule with my hygenist, or? (I did a search on whitening, but there are 147 pages, and most...

Well, now it appears that the chipped tooth is actually LONGER than the unchipped tooth. How that happened? If this holds I think it might be a miracle, since reshaping would probably be even better in this situation.

Since I couldn't decide yet on which model of Sonicare toothbrush, I got a Spinbrush Sonic for about 13 bucks at Target. It is amazingly powerful for a battery operated toothbrush. Sometimes I think it is a bit too rough but I haven't been able to compare it to an actual sonic toothbrush yet. Anyway...

Yikes, that sounds uncomfortable? Do you have to wear it for the duration?
