I am 26 years old and finally getting braces in 3 weeks. I am nervous because I don't know what to expect, but I am excited at the same time because I will...
I thought my braces would blind everyone, but I've discovered that people don't notice until I point then out. I was talking to one guy about my age (we'll...
Hi Aimee: Well, I think that we feel that it changes our appearance more than it does at first. After a while, I would forget and others would notice. You will...
Hey, I wouldn't worry about it that much, although it will be very painful (just telling the truth!). The weirdest part is having your lips propped open by...
I am actually getting the spacers this Friday. I have heard that they hurt alittle but that is goes away in a few days. ... nervous ... time ... your...
Does the orthodontist give you an option of getting ceramic or metal braces. I actually wanted the Invisalign but he told me that they wouldn't work very well...
My Orthodontist didn't even ask. I went with what he thought would be best and he put metal braces on me. Although, I didn't even mention other kinds of...
Hi Aimee - The spacers may be a little uncomfortable for a day or two or they may just feel like you have food stuck between your teeth. Or, you will forget...
Yea, Jennifer sums it up nicely. I chose the metal because of what I have seen on others...and that they are harder for them to work with, more fragile and...
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this. Can you start off with Invisalign and then later on get regular braces. I heard someone say he got...
I've had my braces off for a couple of years, and I was one of the first patients that my orthodontist actually consented to working with ceramics. I was 37...
... I can't imagine that happening. Invisalign are expensive, as are brackets for traditional braces. Then add in the expense of changing your treatment, and...
My facial structure changed slightly. The only people who really noticed were my sister, my mother, and me (after they pointed it out to me). My face was...
So I got them on and he put clear ones on. I don't look that bad but the wiring is poking me. I haven't felt the soreness yet but I know I will. I feel so...
Hey. Congrats! Hehehe. :-) With wires poking, wax will become your best friend! I never had any soreness when I got my braces on. I didn't start...
Aimee: I think that the first week-one month is the roughest, but after a while I forgot that I had them. I saw changes quickly before the second appointment,...
Hey. Wear them however much they told you to. If they say wear it all the time, then do it. They can tell when you haven't. Like me. Hahaha. :-) ...
I agree! I never wore mine, got the biggest lecture! Now, I where mine non stop, even eat a little bit w/them. My braces could be coming off on the...
Hello, I'm a 31yo female who is getting braces soon. My dentist recommended that i get them and referred me to a local orthodontist. I emailed them today and...
They'll talk to you for awhile, he'll exam your bite, teeth, etc. and tell you what they want to do. They'll do measurements and stuff. Then they'll talk...
Hi Jillian, I am 26 and just got braces last month. The first week was rough and I hardly ate anything. But I am use to them now and I hardly ever feel them in...
what sort will you be getiing ________________________________ From: Jillian <jillian_dlc@...> To: adultswithbraces@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April...
Hi, found this group. and am curious if there is anyone out there going through the whole braces thing, learning to eat all over again that sort of thing. Gil...
Sometimes the group gets quite for a while but we are always around to answer questions and help you through your new braces adventure. Good luck with your...
I for one was quiet, because it took weeks (well over a month or more) to get an approval to be able to post here. Which isn't good, when someone is searching...
I can understand the group leader. There are many people out there with braces fetish and it may leave some members feeling uneasy. Its nothing personal...
