I think the gap is just a tiny bit smaller cuz I can't fit my tongue in there as well! I love doing the tongue test! It's better than a spot check in the mirror :-) Just curious... I had the teeth next to the canines pulled (not sure why I can't ever remember the name of these teeth!). My ortho is ...

I had the sonicare and I didn't care for it at all. It buzzes, it doesn't feel like it's doing anything. I feel that I do a much better job at brushing than any electric toothbrush can, to be honest. I'm curious to hear what others say about this though. I also wish to know the entire routine people...

Extractions or Braces causing bone/gum issues?
Sorry to be repetitive but nobody is responding to my first thread here.. so I'll post another. Is there any truth that getting braces and getting extractions (either, and, or both) causes your teeth to be weaker & cause bone loss or root loss, etc??? My 2nd ortho consult was very discouraging, ...

2nd ortho opinion
I just came back, he highly suggested I not extract b/c it apparently will ruin your bone in the gum.. anybody heard of this?? He also repeated what my regular dentist said about my chin & nose sticking out too much and having dish face... and that in 20 years i'm going to regret getting the bra...

Advice needed: Extractions when I don't have a lot of teeth
Hi! I've been lurking mostly for the last month. I was about to get braces this week, however it ends up I need to extract my last molar on the top. I already have another molar on the other side of my top removed a decade ago. So I'll only have 12 teeth on my top left after this extraction. However...

Hi KLC! Yes we do sound very similar! My teeth are large and they protrude. My smile is just very toothy. Even when I talk I just feel like my teeth get in the way. I HATE it!!! When I laugh, talk, or eat, I'm just always self-conscious of my teeth. But like yours they look fine.. actually the pictu...
