DOES YOUR ORTHODONIST DO YOUR CLEANINGS? OR DO YOU LEAVE THAT UP TO YOUR OWN DENTIST? IM CURIOUS ORALIA sclarinet_2001 <sclarinet_2001@...> wrote: So I...
I had my first dental cleaning last week, but I somehow managed a decay free visit. It is possible to have resins and other work performed on you teeth while...
I get cleanings done by a regular dentist. My old dentist worked her magic and got around all that metal just fine. But now that I am doing one stop shopping...
Not only cleanings but when I started my treatment my Ortho told me that there may be extractions needed down the road. I then aske him if he would do them. He...
I left the orthodontist a little while ago without my braces!!! Yea!!! Instead, I have a new Hawley retainer on my upper teeth and the Hawley TA that I got...
Congratulations Jack! What an exciting day for you today. That is awesome. I just love hearing when adults get their braces off and what their thoughts are...
I just talked to my ortho about the soreness in my mouth (cheeks and lips) and he actually said to try NOT to use wax, so that my mouth will get tougher and...
From my own experience, I used wax when I needed it. Near the beginning, that could be 24 hours a day. But then I would stop using it here and there. Of...
Congratulations Jack!!!!!!!! I bet you are just ecstatic about getting those things off. Your tongue will learn how to live with the retainer very soon I'm...
What exactly is a power chain? My ortho put one in on my right lower side today. Does this mean the teeth move faster? Or maybe that I'm almost done? ...
Power chains have various uses and can be used at various stages of treatment. Mine were used to help close extraction gaps. And to keep my teeth neatly...
I was going to post a new response to your question but I think this last response pretty much relates how I feel. I guess try not to use it but if it starts...

Thanks Pamela - Yes, I keep on looking in the mirror and running my tongue across the front of my teeth. Even with the retainers they seem to be awfully...
Hi Mike - I don't think I can say they feel great yet but they sure feel different. Different in a good way. They feel really smooth and slippery. I think in...
Thanks Jack. Its getting hard to remember what teeth without braces feel like. How long will you have to wear your retainers full time? Did your teeth feel...
Yes, they felt slightly loose on the top and a little more loose on the bottom. Not to the point that it worries me but I wasn't expecting them to be loose at...
Today I got my hyrax palatal expander taken out, after seven and a half long months. I can now speak normally again, and eating will be much more pleasant....

Hi, all, today is my 6th day in braces. it's not hurting at all, I hardly ever notice it. the only thing that's hurting is my savings account! I have a...
How long until my speech is not totally noticeable that something is different. I'll be taking a week and a half off after the nance is put on (vacation), and...
MY ROUTINE IS I RINSE MY MOUTH WITH ORANGE LISTERINE MOUTH WASH TO GET ANY YUCK OFF OF MY BRACES. I THEN USE A SPECIAL THREADING FLOSS I BOUGHT AT WALMART, I...
Hi, I do not have a Nance arch but I have 2 lingal expanders (on the tongue side of the teeth). I was talking normally in about 2-3 days it was not that bad my...
I had that Nance arch for about 20 months. I think within a couple of days after having it put on as well as braces, my speech was fine. I think it by the...
Congratulations, I know how good it feels to get rid of a bothersome expander. I got my quad helix out a week ago. Speaking normally again for me was the best...
