Here's a bite wafer with a vibrator built in. One of the orthos I consulted said he uses them for patients who have a lot of pain after adjustments. It's...
How many of you have had trouble with your midline being off? Mine is now off by about 2 - 2.5 mm. That doesnt sound like much but I dont like the look of it....
Hey, Mike, is your midline off because of the braces or because the teeth grew that way? my midline (upper front teeth) are off by a whole tooth! it just...
My midline was pretty much on before the braces, so it must be the braces pulling the teeth. Mike ... that way? ... happened that one upper tooth is missing...
I had braces as a teen which did not completely correct my overbite, and I had wisdom teeth and 4 lateral incisors (I think) removed to make space in my mouth....
My midline is also off to my right, or the left as other people look at it. It has been caused by years of overcrowding and teeth pushing against other teeth,...
Mine was off till almost the end. then it came around.....Was in elastics for almost a yr on just the one side. Cjammer ... __________________________________...
Did they happen to mention extractions or jaw surgery? I had an underbite and those were my two options to correct my problem (which is the opposite of...
My midline was off slightly before braces. And most of the time with braces. It was right on target when my braces came off June 24, but because of this...
Hey, Mike, thanks for the info! this is really good to know. I will be in retainers after I'm done with braces, so I wouldn't want my teeth to shift back. I...
No problem, but I'm April. :) I was assured that all retainers work. Some better than others. And even that I'm told is a matter of preference. Some orthos...
I couldn't get the sun to work right for me, so my pics are a bit dark, but maybe I'll get some better ones later. These at least show the retainers and lack...
I don't have any teeth to pull. I had 4 pulled when I was a teen to make room, as well as my wisdom teeth. They seem to think it is a fairly straightforward ...
Hi Pamela. Congratulations! Your teeth look great. How does it feel to finally be bracket free? How did bracket removal go for you? Do you think the...
Thanks April! I keep looking at my teeth in mirrors and smiling... thinking, "Are those really mine?".. LOL! Bracket removal... well... I had a couple of...

You'll be looking in the mirror a lot the next few weeks, maybe even months. I'm always looking to make sure things are not "moving" and just amazed at how...
April, I haven't had an issue with gagging yet... the Hawleys really don't go that far back in your mouth. I have more trouble speaking with the lower one in...
Hey, I found a website that details the different types of retainers and when they should/shouldn't be used, etc. Pretty interesting. For example, they say...
Hi, I just got metal spacers today and they are driving me crazy!! The little loop part feels like it's poking and scraping the inside of my cheek. The ortho...
Sure, put wax on anything that is pokeing you or feels sharp. Jack ... From: "katyddidnt" <katyddidnt@...> To: <adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
That's strange, I have heard several people who got Hawleys mention several teeth being very sore or super sensitive, like they just had a big adjustment. I...
Hi Katy, I had those metal spacers too and loved them, they were so much better than the few rubber ones I had. I never needed wax because they wire spacers...
After reading a bit, I guess I should count myself lucky that I got the metal ones instead of the plastic. I just feel constantly bothered by what is in my...
Your mouth will toughen up with time, after you get your braces on you will eventually forget there is even anything extra in your mouth. But if you are very...
I liked light blue. They stained to a nice mint green color. White starts to look dingy right away, but look pretty spiffy for a day or two. I haven't tried...
It's amazing that they mananged to re-introduce your adult canines from seemingly nowhere lol - they took their time to come out to play but they make up for...
In the past month, I have broken three o-rings and an arch wire. My 2nd bicuspids are shallow and sit inside the rest of my teeth a bit, so the arch wire is...
