So.. it's been a while since I posted. I haven't really noticed any movement so I haven't felt the need to update. But I also haven't been taking pictures because my boyfriends mom has my camera! Lol. Anyways... On Thursday I was brushing my teeth and the wire with the sleeve on my front bottom teet...

Welcome to life with braces!!! Hopefully the soreness goes away for you. You mentioned in your story that your teeth have white blotches on them and you thought it was from too much floride. I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure it's from the opposite. You should use a floride rinse to prevent ...

What do you mean 'macro' setting?

Welcome! The braces look great :) I was also wondering how to take good pix. Maybe with time we'll learn the tricks?? Yeah, hopefully. :) I saw somewhere that looking in the mirror helps but my bathroom doesn't have very good lighting and the pictures turn out blurry. There's no window in there so ...

Do you have an estimated treatment time? Look forward to watching your progress as my own teeth start to change, too! :) Yeah. My ...

Congrats on being braced! I got braced Tuesday of this week and I'm still experiencing some soreness but all in all it's not too bad. Hopefully the soreness has subsided and you're bad to eating somewhat normally Can't wait to see some progress pics.

I was reading other stories and I realized I kinda gave a vague description of my process :wink: so I figured I'd add a little more. I'm 18 years old (19 on the 9th! :lol:) and I've literally have always wanted braces. Since I saw my peers getting braces and figured out what they did (straighten tee...

Hello everyone. I'm new to the whole braces thing, but I found this about a month back when I actually started looking into braces. I love it and I figured I might as well start my own story on here :) I got spacers April 14th and on April 27th I got my braces :) I don't really know the whole braces...
