Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Why would they need to have surgery redone? :Questions: From what I understand, It sounds like the bracket they attach to the impacted canine sometimes pops off and they have to redo the surgery to replace the bracket. I'm kind of having a miserable time I would really hate to have to do this again...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Lol, I could probably eat more but I'm being careful. And now with my shiny new ligs I don't want to eat anything that could stain them. I have "bite bumps" because I have a fairly profound overbite. They put them on my bottom back molars so my top teeth don't hit my braces. They said most...

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
No activation today. My gums are too angry. He made an appointment for four weeks from today to activate it. :( I did get an adjustment today though and my bottom braces added along with bite bumps. I have to say I'm starting to get hungry. Been on liquids since Friday and I'm just now starting to a...

Re: So no one was able to talk me out of it...
Yay! Good for you! You will not even notice they're there in a week or so.
Advice, don't be a tough guy, use the wax!! ...just remember to remove it before eating otherwise you will swallow it. I ate a lot of wax at first.

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Hey guys. So the pain is better. It was actually better right away the next day. My gums are very swollen and that is really my only discomfort. I'm still not really eating much...just going for higher calorie fruit and veggie smoothies. I go to the orthodontist on Wednesday (it's Sunday night) to h...

Re: What do you think....
I'm thinking a lot about my impacted canine. Praying it responds to the treatment plan and that the pain and discomfort I'm in now will be worth all of this.

Re: IMPACTED CANINES CLUB
Well guys, it's been about 9 hours since my surgery. I'm not going to lie, it hurts...a lot. I did a local so I was awake for the whole thing. The procedure itself was a breeze. The whole thing took probably 45 minutes. My surgeon made the comment that my tooth was deep and I know there was some chi...

Re: Poll: At What Age Did You Get Your Braces?
I'm 27 now....if all goes according to plan I should be getting them off RIGHT before turning 30. Can't wait to start my 30's with a beautiful smile!!
To all of those who had braces as a teen but didn't follow through...will you get your kids braces? Or is it better to wait?

Re: Talk me out of doing it...
OMG just do it!! I have ceramic on top (4 weeks) and get my metal bottoms in a few days. It sucks, they hurt. It's a pain in the butt to keep them clean. Make sure you buy a waterpik. Flossing takes for ever. I have to brush my teeth at work. I have a wire that constantly pokes into my cheek so I ha...
