I just ordered the travel Waterpik from www.shaverspot.ca. US$54 plus US$40 for intl registered air mail. Talk to a guy named Casey there and tell David from...
Good for you David, I am sure your speech will improve soon. I must admit I don't have any problem with speech but then again I have only top braces, and...
I have managed to track a Waterpik in the UK now, I saw it in Boots Chemist the other day, although I have gone and ordered one through a catalogue at double...
I'm in Dunedin. Incredibly warm here today - 25 degrees and bright sunshine. Odd for Dunners, really. I'm technically not a kiwi - a displaced Canadian in...
Hello, I hope it's all right for me to post here although I'm actually 17. In the fall I turn 18 and go to college, and anyone my age at school who got braces...

Today went really well thanks, nobody noticed until I had to point them out, there were no critism's at all, although not everyone has seen them yet. My...
Isn't it funny how our expecations of people's reactions seldom live up? I smiled up a storm at the party on Saturday and no one said a word! Even the people...
Welcome, Sophie! You're on the way. Don't worry about the gadgets being intrusive. This stuff always is, but it does, for the most part anyhow, get better. And...
Hello, I wanted to be able to see the things people are refering to in the photos, etc., so I signed up with a yahoo account and now seem to have two...
Hi Cammie, I guess you answered me while I was writing my last post. I will definitly be getting regular braces when this part is over. I have lots of...
Pam and Meg, I have a question. After you had your exposure surgery done, how exactly did they pull that tooth down? At my appointment last week they...
Hello Jennifer, I'm not Pam or Meg but I know the answer to this one. My daughter and I got braces at the same time and she had to have exposure surgery as...
Hi Jennifer, Well, I initially had a coil going around the archwire to help keep the space there for my tooth to come down. The ortho used a "string", but it ...
Hi all I haven't posted on this board yet, although as Cammie will know I have posted on the orthognathic site. I too am from the UK and a late starter to all...
Hi Sue, I noticed that you said your daughter wore twin blocks. Did she ever get to where she could talk normally with them? I just got out of my first day of...
Hello Sophie My daughter Jessica wore the twin block appliance for about a year and yes she did have a little trouble enunciating some words, just like I do...
Hi Sue, I actually will have to wear mine full time for about a year, maybe a little less. Full-time meaning when I'm not brushing my teeth. After I talked to...
Sophie, don't worry things get better as you get used to them. Just remember how nice it will all be once you are all done the treatment. ... ever ... went ......
Absolutely, I think Mikatrex is right. I envy those who have the self- discipline to stick with the removables, and I admire your spunk for keeping with 'em....
There are some things that can help with cleanliness (I was in fixed braces, including a wired in splint for seven weeks after surgery, for 20 months). Glide...
Oh, Sue! How awful about your daughter's accident. Do be careful, as I know you both will. We are learning more and more about such injuries, and as your docs...
Sophie, I don't know about the consensus for braces, much less the twin block thingie, which sounds awful as does the expander (although the surgery sounds,...
Hi Cammie, I actually wanted surgery instead of all this, but I have some kind of stray nerve and there would have been a possiblility of paralyzing part of my...
