Hi everyone!!! I have just received an appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed under GA. Ugh I am sooooo scared... (really scared) it's in 2 weeks and I am soo scared... And then there's the added problem of the braces. I have a pre-admission clinic next friday (18th september) so obviously they...

Wow! The two teeth that I wasn't happy with have moved almost in line with the rest of them since my last adjustment!!! (which was like 5 days ago!) I was just licking them (as you do. haha) and I thought - oh hang on, that one seems almost in line with the one next to it, then checked the other one...

Oh sounds like you have a long history there!!!! I am pretty lucky I haven't had many problems with my teeth. Had a plate when i was younger to move one of my front top teeth forward, and then braces now, and that's about it.

Oh WOW bracesweden!!! FOUR wires! Omg that would be horrible to clean. hahaha

Gee, when I had two it was only between two teeth aswell. I don't know where they would put 4!

Hi everyone!!! Well I went for my appointment today. No bands yet, but sounds like they might be coming next time. I have now got my final top wire with cool little spikey-uppy-things on them (I am referring to them as an antenna) which I assume are to hook the rubber bands onto? He said I will prob...

Haha princesspeach, I understand. I thought about the difficulties of it after saying it. lol jxds - its coming along nicely! and yep, my ortho said that the braces will make my arch wider - but I have no idea about if it is just damon's or if it is all. But when I say mine is bigger, my lips seem t...

Sorry, I just had to laugh at the mistake

hey starzz, thanks. They really are minor things. one of my front teeth sits slightly in front of the one next to it.. But I actually think this has improved a bit recently, so maybe they are addressing it. The other is my "vampire" tooth - I *think* it sits at a slightly odd angle. and si...

ahhhh thanks starzz - I was wondering about elastics. They did say my next appointment will be a long one because of it. (I think she said something about a T8 appointment? or something like that... lol) Oh good. so it still gets tweaked. I was a bit concerned that that was it, no more changes then ...

yep. although, if you took them every day, you could make a cool video out of them. that would be cool. but they would all have to be exactly the same. bit of a hassle i spose. lol

You haven't had them on for that long though from your signature. Give it a bit longer. Are you taking pics of them? I have been taking pics after each adjustment. Also, I knew if they were moving cause I measured how far I could get my tongue in each gap! haha

Thanks PrincessPeach - it's amazing how fast they move!

Ahh well I suppose that would make sense. bugger. I thought it was to fix up those teeth near it. oh well

meant to say - so I hear what the ortho tells the assistant to get, and I always aim to remember, but I never do. and its not like I understand any of it. so I just sit there pretending I know what is going on

haha.

well the assistant gets us in the chair. the ortho comes in, looks, tells the assistant what he needs, they get it for him... he puts it in, then leaves and the assistant finishes up
