Hi my names Abbie, i am 15 years old I have been found to have an impacted canine on my left side, and my appointment to have it down with a gold chain has finally come through. But i haven't got braces on yet which is a bit of a pain, and i am afraid that it is really going to hurt when i have my mould done, because the mould will go in the hole that the chain is coming from....has anyone got the same problem as me...i am really scared.x
It's been a while since my last post! November was boring, and nothing changed much (just some minor tweaks by my perfectionist ortho), but this month has been more eventful. I had my first December appointment on 12/15, where my ortho decided that one of my bottom teeth needed to be turned slightly. He couldn't get the spring on it the normal way, so we had to MacGyver it a little. We also discovered that another one of my bottom brackets was busted. Of course, the one next to my original busted ...
Ok so I cant believe I haven't mentioned this, but I dread going to bed since two weeks ago. My front teeth have shifted in a way thay makes closing my teeth painful. I tend to clench my teeth at night so I tried temporary fixes such as putting a q tip across my bite. That worked the first night, but then I woke up and some teeth were sore. Then I tried biting on a towel at night. That helped, but of course that meant my mouth was open and my teetn were dry waking up. ...
Ha, my upper back molar wires came off. Luckily, I am still due for my first real adjustment in a week, they said it wouldn't matter if I just pulled the wire out of the last bracket and waited until next week. My extraction sites are healing nicely now. I was worried about one socket, thinking I had dry socket. I went in thinking I had dry socket, and they treated it but were not positive I had it. Its healing now.

Having healthy and strong teeth is the desired by all persons. Teeth are meant to last us for our lifetime. To ensure we have clean and white teeth, we look for ways such as using the best toothpaste products, mouth cleansers, dental flosses, and rinsing agents. One of the main concerns about the health of your teeth is plaque. Plaque is the invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick on the teeth. The longer the plaque stays on your teeth, the more damage they ...
Welp, I had my adjustment today. Not too much has changed. She did something funky with the existing wires, but it wasn't too bad putting them back in .. which was fantastic! She stated that everything looks good, yay! But, that the rest of the movement is my bottom teeth and how quick the elastics work and how well I am disciplined with wearing them. They're pulling my back teeth forward? I'll take a picture in a bit .. I'm still stuck with the molar buildups. No big deal. They're just there right ...
OK, so this is not a braces post, but my boyfriend proposed last friday night. Is it sad that all I could think was, "why now?" I have wanted this engagement to happen for 2 years, but now all I can think about is, how I don't want to get married in braces!
I've had my braces on for one week now and I've got 19 months and 3 weeks to go! They are settling down a bit now but I am still a bit depressed about having them on. I know it was my decision but I have been putting it off for over 10 years and it should be over and done with by now I am just missing eating normal food, and because I have a really big sweet tooth I am desperately missing chocolate/ sweets and the like. I'm just going to have to find some sugar free hard sweets ...
Ok, my lower teeth keep banging my upper tooth, and it is PAINFUL when this happens. I do it nearly every time I talk, or when my jaw clenches. I am scared my teeth are going to chip or break.
So today is my birthday and I woke up to find a bracket had became uncemented. This is now number to so I will be going to ortho tmrw morning at 8:45. Also has anyone had a painful expirence with a molar bracket??? it feels like some of the bite on the back broke off and my gum and tooth is so sensitive. Not to be confused though I am still in surgical hooks and wires, as I have my consult next month 1/10.
One Year in braces and probably less than a year to go !!!!!! I have not posted in awhile cause my braces are getting VERY VERY boring. I barely have any overbite maybe 1mm compared to 10mm a year ago when I started this journey. I went in for my 9th adjustment yesterday and asked the question....... SOOOOOOOOOOOO it's been a year, do I have another year and a half??? And he kinda thinks and hesitates and says OH NO, a year tops and maybe if I'm really ...

Although I've been in braces for quite awhile, close to 2 years (March), I want to write about my experience. I chose lingual braces for aesthetic purposes to bring down my impacted canine. My exposure surgery was June 2010. I thought my tooth would be in place by now but hopefully it will be there soon. My teeth were nice prior to braces although I had a mild overbite. Now my teeth are looking the worse and I'm struggling as I thought after this much time my teeth would look ...
Heyy,I'm new to this site, but i've been having braces for 9 months! I got a power chain and rubber bands put on Tuesday and they hurt! Does anybody know when they will stop hurting?
So nothing really has changed besides doing 2 more sets of impressions and biting down on a blue arch thingy. I believe that one set was for my surgeon who i will be calling tomorrow morning and the other i thought i over heard was for retainers. Oh and i almost went my whole treatment without loosing a bracket. It happened today at ortho while the assistant tried to remove my surgical wires. there was no cement on my tooth at all but i guess the best place to have one break is there lol. I am now ...
