He said anywhere from 18 months to 2 years. My bottom teeth are much worse though...although they are quickly moving too. Yesterday I had a gap inbetween two...
your teeth must REALLY want to be straight. i told my ortho to make the wires really tight so my teeth would get straighter faster, but he just laughed at me....
Hi Megan, So you are noticing movement huh? That's so cool. I have a friend who got her braces about 2 weeks before me and she's always asking me if she looks...
Former Military here..... I understand completely!!! Cjammer ... <mailto:adultswithbraces-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com? ... __________________________________ ...
I hope not, I can't stand him much longer. He's still annoyed that he had to "spend extra time with me" to rotate my teeth. At one point, he tried to convince...
Your ortho sounds like he ought to have a job working in a storage area rather than with people!! What an ass! I had two teeth that needed to rotate when I...
Kayyyyy..... It's so good to hear from both you and Anf. I think I did a search on orthodontists in New York and my ortho's name (and webpage address) came up....
It's official. I'm now braces free. I went in for my morning appointment to get my uppers removed, and the orthodontist comes and takes a look and says "I...
Once the braces come off, you will be stuck with the two-legged jackass just a bit longer ... don't forget retention. ... __________________________________ ...
Congratulations Ron!! That is great news. So glad for your very pleasant surprise today. It sure is great getting those braces off. Good luck with your...
Thanks April. I asked if I was going to be getting a Hawley, but the assistant told me that they use the Essix in adults, and a Hawley wouldn't help keep my...
Hi folks, Does anybody out there with TMJ-type problems also have problems with a sore/stiff neck or back? I had no such trouble before I wore braces. I wore...
I agree, it is kind of a strange feeling the first few times you buy Efferdent ... at such a young age. That stuff sure works wonders with keeping the...
Hi All, I am 34 and got braces almost 3 weeks ago. My teeth are still tender and I cannot bite into anything with my front teeth at all. How long did this...
I got mine on about 6 weeks ago and so far they still hurt like crazy. I can't bite into a ham sandwich! I don't know when it goes away...I hope someone knows...
Welcome to the group. I think it takes different amounts of time for each person. Some people never have soreness. Others have it on and off. Take OTC pain...
For me, I would have soreness for 3-6 days after an adjustment. Believe it or not, the first day I was able to eat Chicken Enchiladas and Chips and Salsa...
Kate, Orthodontic treatment can cause TMJ problems and TMJ problems can cause all kinds of aches and pains, including neck pain. Then again, a lot of things...
I'm in my third week of braces and I expected the irritation to the tongue but not to my throat?! It feels like my throat is on fire. Could it just be...
Could also be a virus. There's a very nasty bug going around my office. Or could be allergies. So many possibilities. Hope you feel better soon. ... ...
Just came from the doctor's and it is the nasty virus that has been going around. My throat feels like it's on fire and the pain meds he gave me just aren't...
I had this, it is awful. For me, I think taking vitamins, getting lots of rest, and drinking lots of fluids and good meals. It has taken some people at work...
Hi! I hope for your sake that your teeth move REALLY fast!! ... __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Have fun online with music videos, cool...
I've had my braces now for 17 months!! I want them off!! I'm really starting to hate them!! I have a slight gap left, only a few milimeters, and it has to be...
Dont worry we all go thru that stage and you cant get them off right now becuase you want the gaps to close. It will pass change the colours they allways made...
I can sympathize and I only had mine on for 15 months. But I was so ready to be done with them, I couldn't stand another day. Thankfully I got done early. ...
