Amazing movement!!
Yesterday was my second adjustment (I go every 8 weeks). My rogue bottom tooth (central incisor, I think) was finally hooked up to the wire at 3:30 in the afternoon. By last night it was evident the tooth had moved and today, 20 hours after being wired, it's almost into it's proper place!!! I still ...

I would never choose to lose a healthy tooth if I could avoid it. When I was looking for an ortho the first one wanted to extract a perfectly healthly lower front tooth - the one right next to the right midline tooth. That would mean my canine (insisor if it's on the bottom??) would have shifted ove...

Again, they must thing I'm so strange. But I really am very proud of myself for going through braces (f...

I don't know what sarpe surgery or a TAD is, I just have plain old braces, but I feel so bad for you. The only advice I can give is to not give up. Almost as soon as you get the braces on you'll see improvement in your teeth and it will make the experience worth it. None of us are in braces because ...

Hi, Margie - I know just what you mean about the worrying about the brown spots. One of the brown spots was on the left edge of the lower right middle tooth, the one that had been overlapped by the lower left middle tooth.
