Congradulations Pam, I bet you are excited and happy - hope to be in that position someday! Only two years left. With luck maybe shorter. What kind of...
Welcome to the group Morena! What kind of braces did you get? About the only way my breath has changed, is it has probably been better just because I brush my...
Jeez, with all you people getting your braces off, there wont be anyone left to chat with here! hehehehe Congradts to you too April! You may have said, but...
terrible metal ones that make my entire mouth hurt. i wake up in the morning wondering if maybe i got hit in the mouth the night before, but i'm just being a...
I'm not sure. Unexpected stuff usually scares me enough into calling my ortho. Peace of mind is good, even if your problem turns out to be minor. Good luck....
Thanks, Mike. Hey, maybe you will surprise your docs and move along quickly, too. I am some 9 months early from the original estimate. I will just be 15...
Hi. Welcome to the group and congrats on getting braces. Estimates are just that, you may have braces the full 24 months, maybe less than that, or maybe...
I think any kind of braces could make your mouth sore, with the friction where you are not used to it. Use wax, it really does help. You will eventually...
Hi there, I had a tooth that needed to be pulled down. Each case is different. With me I had to have exposure surgery twice. The bracket that was on the...
change in mouth odor can be due to metal, not to mention stuff will get caught in between bands, its rough keeping up but keep doing what youre doing. rinse...

I don't know if it's possible to pull down a tooth that's fused to the bone. I had a lower one that was fused and it was extracted when I was 12. It sounds...
Welcome to the forum domincan_princess - I've not noticed my oral odour changing too much since I had braces (3 months in now) but I guess with the methodical...

I think you would want to get in touch or even see or your ortho. That being said, I'll bet that the arch wire isn't into the tubes on the molar bands /...
