Re: People with a large midline diastema...question

I've been told I shouldn't close mine. But it's HUGE! 5-6 mm. Pfft. Plus, my dad had a 2mm or so gap at age 20 ish. Now, at 57, it's like 6-7 mm. No thank you! Sometimes, I think people, even those that love you, aren't comfortable with seeing you change. Even if the change is for the better. I cann...

Re: Nervous about two spacers tomorrow - still not wired

It doesn't hurt, per se, but it's an odd feeling. I didn't sleep terribly well last night either.

Re: Cost?

I'm in the US.

Mine are $5045 including X-rays and retainers. I put 10% down and am paying $189 for 24 months.

I needed no other dental work to start but will probably get the frenum (??) surgery after and perm retainer on upper teeth ($375).

Hi Kenny!

I think you posted on my intro. Looks like we'll be starting around the same time with the same plan of ceramic/metal and treatment length. I'll be following your journey! Good luck :)

Re: Nervous about two spacers tomorrow - still not wired

I just got back from my ortho appointment to get spacers. Easy breezy! I did take an Aleve (naproxen sodium) about half hour before my appointment.

Hello!

Hi everyone! I wanted to get my first post done and figured I could do a quick intro. I first got braces at about age 19 and ended up getting them taken off early while pregnant with my son. I'm going back in! I'm almost 34, married with 5 kids, (2 "at-home" kids and 3 "step"kids...
