What can change negatively is the face. Straight teeth are no surprise.

This post is over 10 years old, so I doubt you will get a response.

Angel21, well said.

Update? Did you move forward with having your back teeth moved forward? What has that been like?

Since the original post is about 9 years old, I doubt you will get a response, but you probably realize this.

That sounds difficult. I'd recommend you rehearse the conversation, perhaps with an understanding friend. In general, I like your approach -- you have some questions and don't want to come across as questioning her ability and judgement. Also, you want to be efficient and not drag it out, since she ...

You might benefit from a consult with an oralmaxillofacial surgeon, or perhaps another orthodontist. I did do a search on "edge to edge bite" on this forum with these results https://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/search.php?keywords=edge+to+edge+bite&fid%5B0%5D=13 . You may want to do the s...

Hi all. Finally graduated into the Naked Tooth Club, after 22 months of a 6 month treatment plan!!! Congratulations! I was a little disappointed that a lot of people that I worked with did not seem to notice that the braces had been removed! I was waiting for people to tell me how good I looked, I ...

Thank you!

Glad to hear that you are doing better, Cankers do suck. Salt rinses help but they kind of condense the pain temporarily then some temporary relief. In case you get a recurrence, most general dental offices have some variation of a "Magic Mouthwash" Has lidocaine viscous and sometimes som...

Good to hear, and best of luck to you!

Welcome to the board! I don't have any great answers, but I did search this forum on "cankers", results = https://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/search.php?keywords=cankers&fid%5B0%5D=13 . Hopefully you'll find some helpful advise amongst the results. Sounds like you have really been through...

The only possible consolation is that it looks much worse to you than to anyone else. I hated the way my smile looked; the brackets which were supposed to match the color of my teeth (more or less) made them look gray in photographs. Best of luck to you.

They may be saying that it's the glue that is staining, vs. the tooth. I did a search on "staining" which led to many results, but some of them might be helpful or at least reassuring: https://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/search.php?keywords=staining&fid%5B0%5D=13 Best of luck to you. Some...

I don't have that experience but do wish you the best of luck with this next phase of your treatment! Since the board is quiet these days, you may want to use the search function for post op SARPE on this board. I see that you have already discovered the surgical forum. In any case, best of luck.

You are very brave! And creative! Best of luck to you.

The first elastics are a bit traumatizing for many of us. It does get better in time as you get more accustomed to them. For now, consider pain meds like ibuprofin (my preference, and with which my ortho had no issue) or tylenol or aspirin. Obviously don't take anything that you are allergic to. Sof...
