Well, I had my braces on a few days before I noticed a loose bracket. Called my ortho and got an appointment right away.. They had me in and out in about 10 minutes and back in business. Def not in as much pain as the first few days and eating pretty normally again. I'll tell you what, when you have a great doctor and staff, the process can be enjoyable
So, it's officially happening! I have made my braces appointments! August 17th I'll be getting my spacers put in to separate my molars (ouch) and then on the 19th I'll be going back for the actual braces. I'm so grateful that I only have to wear the spacers for a couple of days. I know they can be killer, and some people have to wear them for longer! Everything is pretty surreal right now. I don't think it's going to hit me until I actually have brackets bonded to my ...
Thought id write alittle update.... not that anything has changed I still can't speak properly and im pretty sure nothing has moved. Although I am eating normal foods again, just avoiding chewy foods. The teeth that my retainer is meant to be moving back havent moved at all yet. My dentist asked me if I have been turning my retainer but my ortho never told me too or gave me anything to turn it with... Im alittle worried now... Anyway thats about it really. ...

I am returning in 3 weeks to check/fix for any gaps that may open up with losing the power chain (sniff, miss it already..they are achey right now) and then a week after that----these babies are coming OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...
Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a little while because all has been well with my braces. I've been eating any and everything. I had steak for dinner last night. all of that will probably change tomorrow. I have my 1st adjustment tomorrow at 5:30pm and I'm so excited. I'm very familiar with the ritual from reading posts so I will take medicine an hour before I go and I'm prepared to eat soft foods all over again. I'm a pasta person so I won't mind at all. I just hope that it won't ...
My next adjustment is a week from today and I'm excited. I'll go in that morning and have my wires taken out. Then I'll go to the dentist and get my teeth cleaned. After that, I'll go back to the ortho and get my missing bracket put on and wires put back in. I'm having a little bit of pain with my bands rubbing bad sores on my tongue so I'm planning on asking to have the 3 bad ones fixed. I called them this morning so they know about it. They said that if my tongue gets cut and starts bleeding, ...
