Hi Nicole, Congrats on getting wired. Sounds like it has been a pretty smooth transition so far. Good for you! Did you get ceramic or metal brackets? It has...
Wouldn't you know, this morning I broke the bonding that's on my front left tooth, two days before I get the Invisaligns! Looks like I'll be getting that...
Jeff, Sorry to hear about your bonding breaking. That happened to me less than a week before I got my lower brackets, but fortunately my dentist was able to...
I notice the most movement in my teeth when my mouth hurts the most. Maybe that's because it's the only time I really inspect my teeth for movement or maybe...
Yeah, I don't think it'll delay anything. My dentist works very quickly on the bonding, as I learned when he accidentally chipped it a couple months ago while...
The thing that concerns me and I am thinking could cause delay is the rebonding might not exactly match up with the aligners. I had my molds made before my...
This has been one hell of a long journey for me. I first had braces when I was 12, results were just perfect & gorgeous. Unfortunately, in my mid 20's my...
Wow! Good luck! I'm sure everything will go well tomorrow! Congratulations on making it through all this! Jeff ... braces ... Unfortunately, ... the ... bite. ...
Yeah I'm a little worried about that too. But fortunately, this is just a tiny little piece that broke off; it's about half the width of the tooth but only...
Thanks! I opted for ceramic top and, eventually, bottom. I'm pleased with the choice too - they are very discreet. Now I just have to avoid my cravings for...
Ask about the white wire ties. I have never had any staining...like most who used them. -- In adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com, "Nicole" <nbantoft@h...> ... ...
... happened ... Funny you should mention that. This evening I was pondering the chip in my tooth and I decided (a) I'm WAY too obsessed with my teeth, to the...
I have had bands on other teeth other than my molars. They were used to pull those teeth next to my central incisors forward because of how they were turned....
I posted a long post last night about my experience, and it vanished? Anyway,,,they are off, it took 2 hours, lots of scraping & drilling, just a torturous...
Congrats Wendy!!! Way to go you made it! You must be feeling great. How long did your ortho estimate that your treatment would take in the beginning? I'm...
Congrats on getting your braces off :)! I can't wait to get there too :). I actually just got my braces put on yesterday. I've had an expander on for three...
Congratulations on getting de-braced ;) It's a moment I myself have looking very much forward too, although I've still got a long way to go yet, 9 months in...
Scraping and drilling? That doesnt sound like fun. I can see the scraping but what was the drilling for? WOW you teeth look great! Hope mine look half as...
Hi everybody! I typed a message a couple hours ago and then by mistake clicked the "Post" link rather than the "Send" button and my message was lost. D'oh! So...
Hi jeff, i have traditional braces but always wondered how invisiligns worked. Do you wear them 24/7? I imagine you have to take them out to eat. Would be...
Hi Mike, yeah I have to wear them 24/7, and only take them out to eat. And then when I'm done eating, I brush my teeth and I brush the aligners, and snap them...
