    Hi Emma, I really like them and it is an easy decision if they are not too much more pricey than metal ones... Mine are still as clear as the day I got them.

    I have been using mouthwash quite a bit and a Waterpik to keep everything really clean.

    My ortho said I can change out the bands if they start to turn yellowish anytime.... The ceramic brackets themselves do not stain, it is the bands that hold the wire in.

    Good luck, I look forward to reading yoru blog

Finally got my fixed brace!!

by emsta26uk on 10-07-2010 at 05:40 PM
Well i have finally got my fixed ceramic braces. I still have my expander in the top for a few more months.
I can't believe how good the braces look, they are hardly noticable at all I so glad i decided to go for the radiance brackets.

Only alittle aching so far but then it is only day two... im alittle worried about the bands staining but fingers crossed they won't.

Flossing with my braces is quite interesting too hehe

Photos to be posted soon.

6weeks on.... expanding retainer causing head aches :(

by emsta26uk on 09-13-2010 at 05:35 PM
Well ive now had my expanding retainer in for 6weeks.... Things are certainly starting to move. I can feel a real difference when i remove my retainer. My bite has completely changed and feels weird. Not really noticing to many changes from the front veiw tho.

Ive been suffering with really sore heads for the past week. My dentist says it is likely to be the retainer that is causing it because my teeth are starting to move. I cant seem to take anything to get rid of the pain Does

Day Eleven

by emsta26uk on 08-09-2010 at 04:52 PM
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.

Day One

by emsta26uk on 07-29-2010 at 06:34 PM
Today I had my retainer fitted to expand my top pallet. Within an hour my mouth and face started aching. I suffered from a sore head for the day too. Pain killers didn't seem to do much to help either.

I have constantly been slevering and find it very difficult to eat. Ive stuck to soft bread, soup and banana for today, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to eat more.

I have been lisping all day too, which is really embarrassing lol Ive been told this will ease after
