I am not a specialist either, even if I read A LOT of information about all this stuff, but I see 2 problems in here: 1. I don't thing the expander is the one to use of alignment. Again, I am not a specialist, but teeth need to be moved in angles and not just be pushed forward ... As some already sa...

Thank you again for the support. can't wait for tomorrow :) Well .. in Romania we have more and more people into braces. The thing is that most of the people in my country FEAR the dentist.

Sorry to hear about this :( .. it looks like there are some serious prices in your country too ... I think I had 2-3 root canals in my life since I had bad teeth. And when I was a kid we had some HORRIBLE dentists. They would tell you to "just hang on, we're almost ready" instead of giving...

I can feel your pain, but don't worry .. it does take some time for all the preparation, but then you'll be in braces and before you get used to them you'll lose them and be "normal" again. :) I started talking to my doctor about the possibility of getting braces in february when we met. H...

Oh my god that was indeed very hard .. so sorry to hear about this :( Still .. there is still something I don't understand .. if it did hurt why didn't they use any anesthesia? I would kill my doctor if I had to go through 1 percent of the pain you had to endure. I think they should have stopped at ...

Thank you both for the great tips and the support. :) Yes, I do have a nice relationship with my orthodontist and I already made him sick and tired of all my questions :D .. I tend to read a lot about anything I am facing and I have a lot of "educated" questions. The good thing is that he ...

I hope I'll get mine ASAP too. I had all my cavities solved, the extractions done and I am feeling OK. The day after tomorrow I have an appointment with my orthodontist and I hope I'll either find out when the braces are put or I even have them placed. Weird enough .. can't wait :roll: So .. if all ...

I am 28 and people told me I am crazy to do this since I should have put the braces when I was a kid. Well I couldn't afford that back then .. now I can. I did like my doc's answer to this though: "You can wear braces a 90 if you still have your teeth" :lol: .... so I think that it's OK. A...
