hi, Newbie
Hi, I'm 25 and living in the UK and currently a new starter with full metal braces. I've currently only had my front teeth up to my molars braced at the moment and am now off on my own until next six week appointment. some pain so far as only just had them put on tuesday afternoon!- im having braces to treat my poor bite with my back teeth as they only meet in very limited places and cause me lots of woes.

I am glad that things are going well for you. I have not had any discomfort, but may use a little wax tonight in 2 places. My speech is really bad, and I am going back to work tomorrow, where I will be doing a lot of talking. I figure it will either make me or break me. I am trying to laugh it off. I told my hubby he should come along to translate for me...but, he can't understand me either.
Are you still feeling any movement? Does it seem to be in one area or does it move around? My front crooked tooth was really feeling like it wanted to move earlier, but now is has calmed down. I am so fascinated by this whole process. My niece, 12 years old, may get braces in the future, so I am giving her play-by-play. I hope you had a nice day, fleur26. Enjoy your weekend!
heya petal.. different places seem to meet and touch and feel like movement is happening each day. i think the movement i can notice most at the moment most is around my extraction gaps. glad you are feeling things are moving for you too. it is exciting stuff isnt it?petal wrote:Are you still feeling any movement?

Hi Fleur26, I will be out of town with my husband for most of November. I won't have access to the internet. I will check back in when I can. I will miss chatting with you and hearing how you are doing. I look forward to catching up with you when I can get back online mid November. I wish you well! Take care of yourself!
Just checking in, I will be online through Friday night. My husband and I will then be leaving town for about 10 more days. I hope you are doing well, I am not having any problems right now with my braces....that makes me very happy! I hope things are going well for you! Take care and I will check in again tomorrow night.

Today I've offically joined the bracket club with uppers and lowers. Going to get used to eating with them and not had pain so far (until the ibroprofen wears off I think).
Only slight problem at the moment is when I eat it catches a bit on my bottom lip so I've stuck some wax on for the time being.
I've ordered a denta kit from USA (I'm in UK) has anyone else used this? Countdown begins today!!
