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. There was only a little pain getting one put in that was way back. She ended up having to floss it into place then pull the floss out and that was very ...
