Wow...Been awhile since I last posted. Hope everyone has been keeping well. Just thought I should give a quick update about my teethy-situations Im still very pleased with my result and continue to smile with glee! The retainers, is a whole different issue, hehe. They arent too much of a pain to we...

I reckon its normal.

I didnt wear my retainers for one whole day, and when i put them back in, everything felt different. By overnight, the bite felt normal again.

Hi Becky... I had to think about this post of yours. It did make me reflect on the whole experience. I am a bit disappointed that my thread has deterred you from something I Have done. It was a diary of sorts of how i was feeling at the time. With what you quoted, you must read it in context, this ...

Couldn't agree anymore. I found point #1 very true when i was in braces, and Unless someone says something to you, or unless you're willing to ask for an opinion, don't waste your time worrying about what other people think is a very good piece of advice :D Hoping smooth sailing for thr reat of your...

To the OP or original Poster , Eazy, sorry, Don't have time to read through all the posts to this thread I'm just wondering, is it even a possibility to get your braces removed? I mean, you have no serious issues, would your parents agree and comply with your orthodontist, just because you don't li...

Seems in some people that gap just wants to be there and it's a force to be reckoned with!!!

Good luck!

Haha... I have that problem as well, whenver my retainers come off, that gap says hello

I was previously worried about a small gap opening up between my two front teeth. Well i made that appoiment with the ortho and he quickly adjusted my retainer. Instantly when he snapped my retainers back in, I could feel the tightness around my teeth. and he told me the gap was already closing. Not...

Went to the ortho, he hadjusted my retainer no problem. They are much tighter now and more comfortable (i said comfortable and retainer in the same sentence????)

The gap closed instantly. Its much tighter than ever now, and im very happy about it. Shoudlnt have worried about it.

Wow, excellent transformation

You survived the long journey and came out on top. Congratulations

The results are in! Thankyou everyone for your kind words!!!!! Although slightly concerned about a tiny opening between my front teeth, there have been some great progress. I will go to my orthodontist today to see if adjustments can be made to see if the gap can be reduced. its tiny, only i notice...

Thankyou for replying victory.

This bonded retainer, what does it look like, is it behind the teeth?

I've been wearing my retainers. Yet a gap has opened between my two front teeth. I'm quite sad about this. Pre-braces, it was the only gap i had. Pre-braces, the two front teeth flared out and and apart from each other. One week after debracing, i see a parellel gap between the front teeth. Not noti...

TA DA! Oral Freedom!! Well, it finally happened. The removal process wasnt pleasant, but it did the job. I was greeted by the lady who first put on my braces. This time around, she was here to get em off. My debracing story is like any other, Strated with her clipping the brackets off. Then removin...
