I know teeebeee! I grew up in the UK and while the dentistry care I had was questionable, the whole open plan dental office was such a shock to me over here in the US. I felt so exposed!

Aw, so sorry. I came here to check on you as we are very close in our brace dates! Bummer. You'll be starting in no time. Make some soup for the freezer!

Fabulous - how interesting that a little gap opened up in the front two teeth along the way and now it all looks perfect (to me!) Hope you get everything just how you want. Congrats!

I don't like the sound of bit blocks ItsFreya! I haven't heard I'll have to have them but then again, maybe I'm not yet party to that detail. Anything that gets between me and food makes me grumpy!

Leeshlund - congrats! Are you seeing progress yet 6 months in?

Well, I'm getting very anxious as my brace date approaches (16 June) and stuff that I've ordered online is piling up in the house. Makes me feel more in control of the unknown! Also got a couple of things in the freezer for ease of eating, lists of soft foods, food to buy for next week. Oh and did I...

We'll be starting about the same time! I have overbite and crowding issues but will be starting with top braces only at first. Good luck!

Wow, so much progress. You must be thrilled. Thanks for posting pics.

Good luck! That's quite a schedule of events ahead of you.

congrats Teeebeee!

Djspeece !!

Thanks so much newbite. That was really helpful and I just had a look at your braces story. Wow, so much progress in such a short time. I couldn't see the pictures for some reason- I still don't have all the permissions around here but it was interesting that you had so many of the same concerns as ...

Hi I've searched these forums and see there's some discussion already so I guess I'm just looking for updates - I was surprised there wasn't more discussion though. Anyone using acceledent and feel they are ahead of schedule? Or not? Thanks. About to make the decision to throw that extra $900 into m...

Well, the appointment went well and I am signed up for an 18 month treatment plan starting in a couple of weeks. Yikes! Just shows, we can't always manipulate the universe the way we'd like sometimes. I started out with a consultation with an orthodontist I liked last year and for various reasons, p...

I think your teeth look great! As for cosmetic changes to your teeth, that will probably seem like a small deal (although may not be financially) compared to what you've been through with braces. I'm sure there are options once your bite is good and in place. Even bonding rather than full veneers co...

Good luck. Ask lots of questions! I'll be starting soon in a couple of weeks. Been considering this for a lifetime. I wish I could time travel and be at the end!
