Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
Well, it's looking better and better.. the ortho said, I should go back in after 3 weeks (technically, it'll be 4 since she's not in the office at 3 weeks), and then 4 weeks after that.. BRACES OFF!!! I'm still stuck with 2 powerchains on top (one beneath the wire, one over the wire) .. rubber bands...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
Welp, I finally finally finally got the buildups off at my last appointment!! It's not perfect, but it was a start! Happy I didn't need them anymore, although, they didn't really bug me.. except knowing that they're there. The ortho stated that I could probably get them off sometime in Oct! I'm hopi...

Re: Eating habits with braces!
I eat almost everything.. but I've avoided beef jerky (it's too messy) for now and almonds.. but I think that's about it!

Re: They put something on the back of my teeth?
OMG I have that in my mouth now. Its a molar buildup of composite. I hate it. I try to eat on that side of my mouth since my left side needs a tooth extracted and cant eat on it. Failed root canal. Braces are only on top now. I have an under bite so my bottom teeth were hitting the top braces. It s...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
That's exciting about Thanksgiving debrace date!! I think my ortho likes permanent on bottom only and then the old hawley retainer on top and I hope a clear essix too on the bottom. I will ask today. I am paranoid about my teeth going back and I am not doing braces a 3rd time. Have you had an in n ...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
Welp, I told my ortho that I wanted them off by Thanksgiving (or that’s my goal) and she said that seems doable! I’d be excited to eat the holiday meals without food everywhere.. and I’d probably eat more without the braces! They gave me a wire tie this time, not really sure what that meant.. other ...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
Welp, I finally broke off a bracket after 17mths.. I didn't even notice until they took off the powerchain for my cleaning. It's weird to feel just the wire on that side, I won't get it replaced until next week at my next appointment. But, the good news.. I'm hoping is that my dentist said that my b...

Re: Bite plate for retainers.
I wouldn't. The bite plate is for a specific purpose during your treatment. I'd go in and just get a replacement.. you wouldn't want to go backwards.

Re: Forbidden foods
There are a lot of rules, but the ortho will tell you.. but I'm sure many of them you can eat, just be careful and aware if you're pushing the limits. I still eat chips, gummy bears.. but I can't eat beef jerky or carrots.. so you sorta figure out what you can and cannot eat. I have yet to break a b...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
I broke my lower steel archwire once again.. after about 4 days of pain.. I decided to go in and get the wire clipped. The tech was shocked and thought that she forgot to clip it when she put it in last time.. but then she noticed when she was putting on the ligs that nope, the wire was indeed broke...

Re: Braces at 35!
Good luck with it :) It does get easier with the buildups (or bite blocks).. I've had mine for a year and after about a week or so, it gets back to relatively normal. As it is, I eat pretty much everything I used to... and the things I don't, it's mostly due to the pain of cleaning afterwards (i.e. ...

Re: adding elastics are like braces^2
Maybe I'm weird, but I didn't really have that much pain with elastics. A bit in the beginning, they rubbed my cheeks a bit.. but after that, I didn't have any issues. My annoyance with them is eating.. I tend to snack a lot, but the times I forget to take them out, it's a mess. Hopefully the elasti...

Re: Drgnchsr36's Deep Bite Adventures
I forgot to update since my last appointment. Nothing much changed. I'm up to date on my bottom wire (I was a bit behind since I actually broke a wire and they had to downgrade it for awhile since one of my back teeth moved).. and that's about it. I can actually see a little bit of my bottom teeth -...

Re: tooth sensitivity
I'm having the same issue right now.. just started. One tooth, anything too hot or cold is killing it. I hope it's moving and the powerchain is working during this time!!
Hoping that the pain goes away soon.. good luck with it!
