My braces came off 4 weeks ago today and I've had the upper retainer for two weeks now. I still just sit and stare at how straight my teeth are. And the...

I think everyone is different - I am over 50 :-) and just have a few days of soreness - and I *definitely* have a low pain tolerance. Are you eating a lot of...
Hi Lindsey. Definitely mention any concerns you have to your ortho. But I can tell you from my own experience, I had a pretty normal treatment and I had pain...
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE! I ACTUALLY HAVE A RELATIVELY HEALTHY DIET AND DO NOT EAT HARDLY ANY JUNK FOOD. AND TO CLARIFY IT ISNT MUSCLE SORENESS OR SORENESS ON...

I am 49 and I don't necessarily have a low pain tolerance, but don't particularly like it either. What I have found is that after an adjustment, my mouth is...

Not sure if all plans at a certain insurance company cover adult braces, but I personally recently got on a CIGNA dental plan through my husband's work that...

It's been 8 weeks today since my braces came off. I've been wearing the retainer 24/7 (with the exception of 4 days last month when I was at a conference and...
I have this day had someone make a rude comment to me about my decision to wear braces. This is the second time that someone asked me "Whatever made you...

Bless your heart! That's just the rudest thing I've ever heard. You may have needed braces but those guys need a brain transplant! I went to my national...

I have had the "dusting" done AKA "Proximal stripping" <S> It is real annoying to have done, and made my teeth sensitive to hot and cold. But it does go...
I'd never heard it called this, but my orthodontist did a little dusting on my front teeth during the very last weeks of treatment to get them all lined up...
I had some done during the finishing stages also. Just minor stuff. Now in the beginning, before my braces were even on, I had 4 premolars extracted. This...
