Think of a dental pic that is highly motorized and sprays water like crazy to keep it cool...that's what the ultrasonic scaler is. They need to keep the...
Yes I agree, If you moved your teeth to much then you would have to move them back. Thus in braces longer. Cjammer ... __________________________________ ...
I like this topic lol. The stupidest thing I did with my braces on....... I got my braces in June of 2005 and just last month I decided to have a rolo......(I...
We're going to Cozumel. The diving there is breathtaking (no pun intended). The water is so clear that I always feel like I'm diving in an aquarium. I didn't...
OK, I'm convinced. No more playing with the elastics. The sides of my tongue are already torn up from the elastics. They gave me that little plastic tool,...
I guess it really wasn't a problem for me. I thought it would be, but the seal comes more from the lips over the mouthpiece than brackets over the mouthpiece....
I got the retainer yesterday yay! I gotta say that this is the first time since I got the braces off a couple of months ago, that I love my teeth. At first i...
Just another little thing to think about with those elastics and scuba gear is the possibility of breaking one and it going down your throat (or what would you...
Congratulations. Glad to hear another happy patient, post braces. It took me a while to get used to my teeth post braces, too. Was that you that had the...
As long as I swallowed and didn't inhale it, I think it would be ok. OMG, I just got this visual of the time my dog ate a rubberband and had to scoot his...
Hey everyone. Purely by coincidence of location, I happened to receive an email (on a totally different website) from Judge Fletcher (who now lives in my home...
Hey Lauren, I'm 19 and I've had braces for just over a month now on my uppers, I'll have the lower ones on in about a month. I can talk to you about them if...
Thats cool, I was wondering where he had gotten off to. There is a lot of us older members that just peep in every once in in a while. Hope everyone is...
Small world. Glad to hear he is doing well. ... __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or...
Hey Lauren, lol typical me, I deleted your message you sent instead of hitting reply, sorry. Anyway, I had a palate expansion surgery (SARPE it's called). The...
It's been ages since I posted. Life got busy and forums became a thing of the past. But, sure enough, when things go sour you coming running back here huh? I...
Congrats on getting your off! What kind of retainers did you get? I have read that the retainers are harder to talk with than when the braces first go on. I...
Renee, congrats on getting your braces off. Wow, you sound just like I did when MINE came off ... I had all those same concerns. Did you get a Hawley?...
I had extra space in my molars to. The ortho check thspace with floss and watched it till another visit. Then he put two button brackets on and a chain to...
How long will you have thoses brackets on? Do they ever bother you? Can you put a rubber band on them if you think the gap is opening or will you have to go...
Well I think I am talking a little better this morning, though I still trip up and after a bit of effort I start gagging. (Horribly over sensitive gag reflex...
I have had them now for about a yr and a half. They dont bother me. Its like having a small bracket back there they have never bothered me to have to put...
Maybe that tooth is not moving and its the others that are? I had a couple of teeth that did not touch and that was my case, it was a tooth next to it that...
I needed several adjustments on my Hawley at first, yes. It can either be too tight or too loose in certain spots. And sometimes you can accidentally give...
I had another adjustment this past Tuesday. They removed my upper archwire (and let me floss without having to thread the darn floss around the wire) and...
Glad it is going well Marilyn. Hang in there. The end of your time in braces is very near. :) ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
