Waiting till after christmas may be a pretty good idea. No point in struggling to eat all the lovely food and chocloates!

Plus it gives you a New Year New Start attitude.

Good luck with the extrations

Meryaten, although I am sure that you dont mean it, your posts sometimes come across like your being condescending. Not saying that you mean it but I have seen a couple of your posts that have caused people upset. Please dont take offence at this its just an observation. I think you may find that t...

So what do you want me to do? Stop posting? Because I am certainly not just going to cheer-lead and just tell people only what they want to hear - that would be totally disingenuous. No just stop and think a little about the way a post may come across, like I said there have been a few posts that y...

hey, you have a similar smile to me! I have been to the ortho recently too, so I would say that in my own experience that if you are looking at Ortho's etc then you are wanting braces either for dental treatment or cosmetic. But either way you want braces to make you happier about your smile! And is...

Thanks guys for the pics, what an improvement! :D The front band does look big on the teeth, but far better than normal brackets and with the advantage (or disadvantage) that you can take them off! I have an app with a dentist in Birmingham/West Brom who offers this treatment, as far as I can work o...

Hey Jules glad the Inmans are working. It would be great to see some before and after pics as I am considering this course of ortho work. I would also like to see some pics of the Inman Aligner being worn, as all the ones I can find are on models of teeth. This would be great in letting us see how '...

Yay well done. I was still at Uni in Feb 2005 nearly 4 years is a long time!

I am sure you are so used to your braces that it is a shock to get them off.

Enjoy your retainer. I am just starting on my braces journey aged 24 :lol:

Hi Jules. Thanks for the info. I am just about to phone up a dentist not to far away to make an appointment. Its actually quite good as this will be my 2nd otho app so it will be good to compare the 2. Does anyone have any pictures of their IA? That would be great to see someone wearing one. Cheers :)

Hi, I am looking into getting braces but I am only really concerned about 1 of my front teeth. So Inman Aligners seems like the way to go. However most of the practices seem to be down in London, does anyone know any in Birmingham/worcestershire that off them? Also what cost is likely to be involved...

Im half expecting him/her to say there is more problems, infact since booking the app I have seen some problems that I had not before.

What can I expect from my first appointment? Little nervous so it would be great to know

First Appointment

Hi

I have my first appointment with the Ortho next week and was wondering what to expect?

What questions would I be advised to ask and what should I be looking out for?

Cheers
