Just getting braced or thinking about it.
As I approach 30, the last thing I ever imagined that would be happening to bring in the new year would be me getting braces...again! This will be my 3rd time undergoing orthodontic treatment. Needless to say, the past two attempts have only masked my major problem (moderate overbite) instead of fixing it. The fix in the past always involved jaw surgery, but the cost was never covered by insurance, so it never happened. At this point, I have extremely straight teeth, a beautiful ...
I am getting my braces done at the University Orthodontist Clinic. My biggest problem was my upper canine tooth. I joined this forum, hopefully there are enough people active on here to get advice and ask questions. On November 30th, 2011 I got the brackets put in. I need 4 extractions so they did not put the wires in. After the brackets were put in, they took me upstairs to the Oral Surgery Clinic to make an appointment for the extractions on December 12th. Wow, this was painful ...

59 aligners... FIFTY NINE. That's pretty much a 2+ year prison sentence for my teeth. And why? I've never had braces before, I never cared about how straight my teeth were before, why now? F*ck if I know. He was saying "your teeth are moving" and he was right. My teeth are moving. Like little boats on the ocean swaying back and forth every few months, years. So they've been put on lock down. Incarcerated, doing hard time for 59 aligners. I've got my first set of aligners in ...

I got my first invisalign trays on Friday finally! My first thoughts are that it's not too bad so far. There is a bit of pain when putting them in / taking them out. Also a slight bit of pain while eating. I have been waiting until I am absolutely starving until I eat just to not have to take them off... I am yet to see what it's like to be at work with these on, so that could be fairly trying. I am not looking forward to brushing my teeth at work, but I guess it will get less awkward ...

I thought yesterday was going to be easy as ... going in, recieveing my Invisaligns and snapping them in.. NOT.. I was in the chair and he started the drill ....and started 'shaving' my teeth for some kind of "bumpers". I broke out into a sweat and almost croaked... ( OMG ~ GIVE ME SOME GAS).. wasn't ready for that. Well, here I am day 2.. and am really uncomfortable.. and I can not clinch my teeth...and unable to really chew anything.. UGH. My treatment is supposed to take 70 weeks..(35 ...
Hi all, I really hope i can find some people to share my worries and hopes with on here... my husband doesnt get the big deal about this - his view is i wanted it and im getting it I'll start with what a waste of space my mother is and wish this had been sorted as a child Which the orthodontist was quick to ask about at my initial app (i wanted the floor to open up on me)! My teeth are so crooked and over crowded, i don't have nearly enough space in my ...
After four loooooong months it's finally time for my initial invisalign appointment!! I go in on Monday to get all the x-rays, moulds etc done and pay my deposit. I think the deposit is the thing I am most apprehensive of! After Monday there's no backing out, so it's really happening. I'm not sure how long it's going to take to get my aligners but I'm considering having a pre-invisalign party where I can eat, drink and be merry for the last time without the need for worrying about ...
Ok so on 9/15/11 I went in for my braces appointment. When I first got there they took several pictures of my face, smile, teeth, etc, they made molds of my teeth which did not bother me like it did some people because I have had these done before when getting a night guard made, I knew what to expect. My advice is don't think about it and breath through your nose it only takes a minute each time. After this they went ahead and started to fit me for my molar bands, this was NOT fun for me at all! ...
I am 27 and finally decided to go ahead and get the braces that I have always wanted (well not really wanted but do want the ending results). My teeth are not really bad and people are like what are you getting braces for!!! I have a deep overbite, my top teeth completely cover my bottom, bite is not aligned properly because of this which hascaused TMJ. My ortho also said I had a narrow smile which I never realized till he pointed it out, so he said he will widen my smile during treatment as well. ...
so tonights the night I'm supposed to put on new invisalign trays. I put the trays on and the back two spots for the last two molars are kinda stuck on the air. the tray is on everyother tooth correctly it just on those two the tray doesn't touch the tooth. even if you push it down it just pops back up again. can anyone help?!?!?!?!,
Hi everyone. After few months of consulting and decisions. I went with an ortho that recommended treatments closed to my desire. I have a slight crowding on upper and lower teeth. My front tooth (no. 9) was twisted forward a little bit. - 2 Orthos that I saw recommended 4 molar extraction, then braces - 2 Orthos recommended using Damon system and make the teeth straight - 2 Orthos recommended using traditional braces and rubber band to straighten the teeth first. After ...

I know there are already so many of them out there so I don't really expect any one to read mine I'm more so doing it for mown enjoyment. so I'll start by telling u a little bit about myself. tomorrow I'll be 15. I'll be a sophomore in highschool. I play soccer and am in the drama club (weird combination I know). and I hate my teeth! so I just started invisalign on Monday aug. 28. ...
hi. I'm new to this sight and the world of braces. I just started invisalign and have found alot of blogs with peoples experience and thought it'd be a fun thing to start. I was wondering if u thought there were already enough or if I should startone. if so where and how? also. about the invisalign. how long did it take u to get used to them? and instead if filing irritated edges can u use dental wax??? any advice or opinions would be greatly ...
