I am SO annoyed!!! :evil: That bracket on my top left lateral popped off AGAIN on Sunday so I have to drive for an hour to my ortho again in the morning to have it sorted!! I know it is really going to hurt me aswell because my teeth have been very tender since the last adjustment and that tooth in ...

Hello all - Well I dont really know whether I am doing this right but here goes - this is my story: I am a 29yr old Mum of 2 - a 3yr old little girl and I have a 6mth old baby boy!!

Well I cant believe it is SO long since I have posted on here!!!! Time does fly!!!! I have now had my brace for 6.5mths and I had my 3rd adjustment on Monday. When one of the top brackets popped off in October and had to be put back on, I think my ortho put it on in the wrong postition because that ...

Well hello all!!! The night of my 1st adjustment I noticed that one of the brackets on my top lateral incisors had popped off!!! which meant another trip to the ortho!!! I went on Thursday to have the bracket put back on and OH MY GOD!!!!! the pain was unbelievable!!! give me childbirth any day!!!!!...

Well I had my 1st adjustment yesterday and it didnt go too bad!! When he took the wires off it didnt hurt at all but it was quite painful when he put the new wires on!!! lots of pressure!!! He has put a thicker, rectangular wire on the top arch and has put 2 wires on the bottom!!!! I havent seen any...

Hello all!!! Well, I am starting to get a bit nervous about my 1st adjustment on Monday!!! I have only just started to be able to bite into soft things with my front teeth!! I am just looking for some advice really about what to expect on Monday??? I have Self Ligating braces so am guessing that I w...

Thanks Ken and Jes!! I will probably wait until my first adjustment on 20th October before I post anymore pics - I am hoping and praying that my ortho might just say that my time in braces will be less than predicted because my teeth seem to be moving quite fast!! :jump: I know that they say that yo...

WOW!!!! What a MASSIVE difference!!! You must be SO happy with the results!!!

I am wondering how you get your pics to be beside each other because I only seem to be able to get them to go down the page (if you know what I mean!!)

Hello all!!! :-1 I am feeling good today after looking at my updated pics!!! The bottom teeth have definately been on the move the last 2weeks - particularly my bottom right canine!!! And I felt it too!!! Here is the evidence!! Day 2 smile: http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/karenlf79/my%20tee...

Hello all :-1 , well I am now 5 weeks in and seem to be OK - I still cant bite into anything with my front teeth and cant imagine ever being able to do that while I have braces!!! My teeth at the moment seem to be taking it in turns to hurt!! Yesterday it was my right front incisor, today it is my b...

Fistly - sorry for nearly giving myself the same name as you!!

Congratulations!! I bet that tooth comes forward quickly!! You will have to post regular pics!!

Sorry you are in SO much pain but I am sure it will ease in a couple of days and you know it is SO worth it!!!

Thought I had better try and take some photos from below my upper arch and above my lower arch like others have done because I think it is easier to see the movement!! Shame I didnt take any on day 1 but here are my pics taken after 3wks 3days: http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/karenlf79/my%2...

Hello all - well for the last couple of days I have noticed the inside of my cheeks and lips are getting sore?! :? Im not sure why this has decided to happen 3wks after getting my braces fitted!! On one side there is now a lump (think it is a bit swollen) so it keeps catching on the brackets when I ...

Not that much further!! I rang that ortho for an idea of prices before I went to West Kirby but it sounded like it was a bit dearer. I used to live in Old Colwyn in 'The Plough' pub! About 11yrs ago - my Mum ran it!

You are close considering most people on here seem to be from america.
