21 months at 21
Hey! Just wanted to introduce myself- I'm Lou and I got braced in December last year. My ortho said 18-24 months so I thought it wouldn't be a total lie to say my treatment would take 21 months haha. I've been stalking ArchWired for about a month now, using it when I had little freak outs or concerns about my own treatment, and thought I should stop and actually join the forums.

Hi ! Are you happy with your results so far ? Getting mine in a week and i'm really curious about how fast they can move your teeth.
Re: 21 months at 21
I realise I forgot to leave out some pretty important info in my first post - I'm in for bite problems that were causing really bad tmj headaches. I've always had aesthetically quite straight teeth so I can't really say how quickly the braces are moving my teeth. I can feel my bite changing but apart from that haven't really seen a major difference. Sorry that that wasn't more helpful!

I've noticed my headaches are definitely less frequent since I've gotten my braces, and it's only been about a week. Sounds crazy but I woke up literally every morning with headaches. Crazy how everything is interrelated! Good luck!

Me too! At least for a while there. I just got elastics on (triangle class II configuration I'm pretty sure) and the tension headaches when they're on is unreal. Oh well, eye on the long term prize!!

I stopped waking up with headaches the day after I got my braces on. I was floored. I think I've discovered that I clench my teeth in my sleep. Without being able to do that (I had bumpers and my molars couldn't touch) the headaches were gone.im glad I'm not the only one, was starting to think I was a bit crazy thinking it "cured" those morning headaches so fast. I guess it's really a thing.
Braces for 18 months/4 days.
