After visiting your great page in the pretreatment time and the first days as a braces wearer very frequently, i have to admit that the last weeks braces was no topic any more and so I forgot to post to my blog.They are just part of me and my life, routine is going on. Even the adjustments are easy to go, no more troubles any more, just the first successful movements of my teeth! Twice I was asked by adults how I decided for braces and if I would do it again. During the first week I definitely would ...

Hi, sorry for not posting the last weeks. After the unexpected difficult start in life with braces the past week was really positive. The braces are already part of my mouth, probably my teeth already would feel naked if the brackets would be removed ( i always tell them that there is no reason to worry about that as it still is a long way to go!). Now that I am a professional wax supplier it`s simply not needed any longer. It´s incredible how efficient our body can adapt to new circumstances! Today ...

It almost took me 2 weeks to get used to my braces but you all were right - finally I check brushing, flossing, eating,... It still needs plenty of time but at least it works. Last week I was also back to work and was surprised about my collegues who were very supportive, 2 told me that they were themselves thinking about getting braces but so far didnt dare - maybe in a few weeks I will not be the only one wearing braces at my office! Thanks again to all your supportive comments - its a great ...

Hi,
this morning a got a phonecall from the assistant (ortho office). She asked me if everything is ok, if i would need anything. That was very nice and gave me some support!
Lip balm and salt water really help making life in braces easier! Although i am still in conflict with wax and flossing its the first day that i can imagine to get used to the whole treatment. I have the impression that my gum is extra sensible, I still use mainly drinks, eating is too much discomfort. But step ...

It really takes some time to getting used to braces and i am glad about the decision of staying at home this week! I still dont eat normal food, i just keep drinking and eating yoghurt.Concerning pain it really is not bad, i didnt need any tablets. But my tongue, lips, cheeks are really suffering, despite the wax i am using. I hope it will be better till monday when i am back to work!

I just returned from the orthodontist am - I am braced! I almost didnt sleep the whole night and got up early, fortunately i was the first patient this morning. So far it was no pain and all in all it didnt take more than 2 hours, but the first look in the mirror was strange, and especially my tongue and lips give me the feeling that there are huge metal parts in my mouth! The assistant was very proud of the "perfect work". Concerning the pictures I didnt take any, but hundreds of them ...

hi everybody,
thank you for the nice welcome after my short introduction!
as you told me I will start my braces blog now:
after a not so successful treatment with removeable braces as a child and after "loosing" 4 wisdom teeth i finally decided to start orthodontic treatment for a second time. with my age of 35 i feel quite young, and as i live in europe i think braces for adults are still not as common as in the usa (although it is getting more and more popular). ...
