They do still make metal bands...I have them on the teeth that have crowns...couldn't get the glue to stick on the crowns. FYI - I love love love the colored...
Hello! My name is Cindi. I'm 35, and from Michigan. After consulting w/three different orthos, I finally decided on the third. He's great! Got my braces on...
Welcome, Cindi! I just got mine again (had them in the 70s) in October. I am glad that you sought multiple opinions as it is clearly not an "exact" science...
I love your attitude Steph! I'm trying to talk myself into being able to extrude that confidence. I know I'm being childish. I need to get more excited! I...
good for you and congrats. By the way, you are not alone. I was very hesitant as well and don't necessarily like how I look in braces, but I know it will all...
Well, it is easier to be positive when the pain has died down. I am 50 years old...and some have said I have entered my second youth...I say they are agist!...
Thanks Andie! We're all in this together. ... From: Andie MacCowan <indigoblueab@...> To: adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 6, 2008...
Thanks again, Steph. I have a 13 yr old daughter. All of her friends are getting or have gotten braces. when they heard that I was getting them...their...
Hi Cindi: I have a 16 year old daughter who got out of braces two years ago. She was constantly changing colors and was eager for me to try some...For...
HaHaHa....good for you Steph! ... From: stephanie <socsteph@...> To: adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 7, 2008 3:44:31 AM Subject:...
Haha does anyone else feel that common "bond" when you see someone else with braces ? I was in the grocery store and the cashier behind me tapped me on the...
ok, bear with me because I'm not sure how to explain this.... I had two upper teeth removed (one on each side) the ones right before my molars (premolars?),...
I had the same thing done except I had all 4 of my premolars removed (( 2 top 2 bottom )).... and my ortho explained that over time, the braces will "broaden"...
thanks Carmen. That makes sense, it's just hard to imagine. like where does the gum disappear to, even though I know it all just moves around and settles in...
Geez I hope I don't get greedy answering this question again....think of it as a widening and settling. Imagine the front expanding out as they're moving...
Hmm so, i'm wondering now...my main concern is my gapping in my front bottom teeth. Will this be the last thing to close you think? Are they repositioning...
its best to think of a V opening to a U...everything moves out and back and ((for lack of a better word)) wide'ns up... (( how is that spelled ?? )) ... From:...
I noticed straightening in my front teeth first .... I had BAD zig-zaggyness in my fronts and it's already straightened them out quite a bit. They told me to...
He did tell me, that in 3 or 4 months, I'll be wondering why I needed braces at all. I've had them on for a week now. My teeth feel "loose". Its really...
The initial soreness lasted about a week for me. On occasion one or two particular teeth will feel tight and the next day it'll change. I can definitely feel...
I remember my 3rd week my teeth were straight. It was amazing. But then I had 2 teeth removed to move them all backwards, but they were straight and it was...
Well, if they are moving and loose that may not go away until they have reached their destination and stayed there a while....The looseness does not hurt, but...
Haha thats my feelings...if it doesn't hurt, burn, or make me sore....it's not working ! I was jumping up and down the next day happily proclaiming to my...
I know..the whole process is amazing. Even though I'm new to it, 8 days in....I swear that they have changed. My bottom front teeth were kinda shaped like a...
I measure my gaps by poking my tongue in it to see if it's closing. I don't really get bothered by them as much as I thought I would, thankfully they're not...
as for my case (i had 4 teeth removed prior bracket fixing), with overbite and zig-zagging too.. after the zig-zagging of my 4 front teeth straightened out, my...
thanks, that makes sense. That is what I envisioned would happen, that all 4 front would move back together. I guess I will have to wait until next week's...
Andie, thanks for asking the question on closing the gaps as I was wondering exactly the same as you. I had four premolars removed, and I've had the braces...
I got my braces on in mid Dec...and I go back for a new archwire end of Feb...and another early May. So it's about 8-12wks between my adjustments. ... From:...
