Just re read your recent posts! Poor you, still waiting for a date for your surgery :( Hopefully you will get some news at your next appointment...at least it would help to know what you're working towards. I've been a bit 'down' with slow progress, which is why I haven't been on here in ages...real...

Hi, I just thought I'd post a picture between adjutments, for myself really, so that I can look back on progress. The first photo shows the stubborn lateral incisor that has slowed progress down by refusing to get inline. The second photo shows progress after another 9 weeks, after the tooth was fin...

Congratulations on starting your journey with braces, you won't regret it, you're a step closer to a wonderful smile. :-)o Things do feel 'strange' the first few weeks and you do feel you'll never get used to it, it really does get much much easier :lol: Hope things settle down for you quickly... :-1

Had an adjustment today and that stubborn lateral incisor has now been linked to the archwire at long last :banana:. The ...

They are glued/bonded to one of the teeth beside the extraction gap and the other side is shaved each time the gap closes slightly. A really great w...

Having a bit of a 'wobble' about my treatment with braces :cry: Feeling absolutely fed up with: a. Top front teeth still not 'lining up' despite almost 6 months with upper braces (12 months with lowers) - many people on here seem to say it takes about 4 months for the teeth to get in line, with the ...

Hi, I'm having a bit of a 'wobble' about the whole brace treatment at the moment too! It's hard to see from your photos all the issues you describe as we can only post teeth shots...from that point of view your photos show gorgeous healthy looking teeth and arches that are aligning beatifully. I hop...
