Spacers!@#

[kaylaa]

Hey all,

Just got my spacers in 4 days ago.

They have calmed down, but boy did they ever hurt at first. I have another 10 days of these annoying things, and then I will be braced up. July 14 is my date. I also get a quad helix installed, so that should be fun.

if anyone has any comments on the quad helix, i would love to hear them. I am quite curious.

Also, if you want to follow my story, here is a link to my blog

Welcome!

Yeah spacers are KILLERS! I thought many times about ripping them out of my mouth when I got them. I however don't have any info on the helix although I would be interested in hearing about it from anyone else who has an idea.

Best of luck!

Hi and welcome to this forum Kaylaa!

Here's to the next 10 days speeding past and you getting rid of your spacers!

All the best and it's great you're keeping a blog!

It's my first blog, but so far, it's really fun. I hope I get more readers as time goes by and I get further into my progress. I have also noticed a few blogs that I just want to keep reading and they stop half way through. It makes me crazy. I want to know what happened! But I guess life happens and you don't make time for some things. Anyway, thanks for the welcomes

Hi Kaylaa and welcome. You'll find loads of useful info on this site. I would love to know what quad helix is, I don't think that has been covered on these forums before (maybe just not in my time). Good luck and keep us posted.

BF click here and look about three quarters of the way down the page.

This is an appliance that helps push the back tooth out in the arch of an adult to make extra room.

Wow thanks Sunny, I didn't realise things like that even existed. It's amazing what can be done and so much better than surgery.

ya those suckers hurt

If they're inserted and work correctly the discomfort level should be minimal. The main adjusting is to having something in that area of your mouth.

Hey everyone. Quick update, I got my impressions for my quad helix. And I have a new blog update

Should I be putting blog updates somewhere specific?
