Welcome to the group Jennifer. I was fortunate enough to find this group before I got my braces. But finding it anytime is good. You will find very helpful...
I think, Kenda, that for routine dental work, it's more important to get the retainers in place right away. As in, in my case, anyhow, within 48 hours. I had...
I'm glad your sister's glued-in wire works well for her... I have a dear friend who has the same. It's done well for retention for her, but it still, at more...
I'll definitely ask my ortho about this at my next appointment. Unfortunately I have a few crowns that will need replacing. One is bad now and is very cold...
Cammie, with all your perio experience ... did you ever need a crown elongation or crown lengthening procedure? I need this for a cap on my unbanded molar. ...
Hi there :)) Well I have needed braces for a while, but when I was younger I was extremely stubborn and decided against them. I am looking at roughly 28mos of...
Looks like everyone needs to clean house again with their picture folders. Once some people free up space for you, you should be able to post your pictures. ...
I don't see any reason why they couldn't. I thought you meant crowning a tooth with a bracket on it. Actually, I was in the middle of getting a crown replaced...
I think what they've done for me, at least so far, was replace the crown as decay encroached at the bottom. I reckon there's an obvious limit to how far that...
I dunno if this is a good or a bad suggestion, but I am a member of another site where the moderator has effectively vamoosed, and the pictures section is...
Well, today was adjustment #7, just short of 8 months in. Nothing too exciting, just a fresh chain on the bottom, and I now have a full section of chain on the...
Hi everyone! To those of you who have Invisalign, I just want to give you a heads up that you may still need braces after you are finished. I just did a year...
I guess it would depend on how close you are to perfect without having braces. If I was super close, I might forego the brackets and live with what I have....
Hi Crystal. If I were you, I would go for the braces and get as near to perfect as possible. Especially if it will cost you no extra. You have came this far...
The last time the photo section got full I removed several of my pictures to make room for others. This time I looked at several of the folders and photos....
Jack, what a very generous offer you have made. If I had photos posted, I would take you up on that. But thanks on behalf of those that do. :) Very kind...
Ohhh I confess, I am one of those with large file sizes. I noticed it a while ago, but couldn't figure out how to change that. My sis uses her digital...
Thanks for replying, I think you're right. I will probably get the braces. It will not cost me any extra, and 5 or 6 months can't be that bad, right? I don't...
I had an unexpected appointment with my ortho today. The bottom teeth on the right side of my mouth seem higher than those on the left. I phoned my ortho's...
It's my pleasure to help. I hate to see anyone have to delete their pictures if there is another way to make room for others to post thiers. There is still...
Glad you had a good impromptu appointment. :) So the braces come off, retainer goes on, then crowns are done. What do you do after the retainers are made and...
Regular braces will most likely make the inside of your mouth sore, but you get used to them fairly quick. Wearing wax on the brackets at night helps. And...
Wow, that is awesome news Jack. Good luck. ... From: Jack To: adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com Sent: 2/3/04 2:49 PM Subject: [adultswithbraces] Re: Pictures ...
