Hi, its been a while since I gave an update. A couple of weks ago one of my molar brackets poped off, but was re fixed with no problem, but when it broke it was great fun detaching it from the wire. Next a small gap started to develop between my front teeth so at my 1st adjustment appointement yeste...

hi Lily, for once I read a topic that i have first hand experience of, and while I have only had linguals for 2 weeks I have had 2 attempts at invislign! My honest answer, with the benefit of hind sight, is that I would have opted for lingual 100% of the time. I can't think of putting another plasti...

Hi teach, sorry but can't advise on adjustments - I am not due for one before mid feb.

I was sent the following advise about photos, it worked for me so good luck:-

Hi Katrina, Congrats so far, can you post a photo? Well I'm 10 days in now and eating is back to normal. It does feel stange but I guess we all just adapt. Keep us posted. Oh, I'm with you to have a "positve Campaign" towards lingual braces.

Hi Katrina, I hope yesterday went well - please let us know how you got on?

My guess is you will get a wire in sraight away. The brackets are very rough without the wire and ligatures. I have had mine for 6 days and have had no problems at all.

Ok - here goes, image of my new additions - from 7th jan my first day in Braces.

Hi, thanks for the support, still going well, I am surprised how easy this is (so far). A few teeth are a lillte tender when touched - I guess they are the movers. Speach has been unaffected; for those worried about all the negative postings here is a positive one. My tongue is also fine and has not...

So far so good - the process took less than an hour and was painless. My first feel of the brackets was not as bad as expected, although a little rough - speech is absolutely fine as far as the utside world is concerned, but the odd word sounds rather lispy to me - no pain yet - and have eaten with ...

The jorney has started, I had my bonded retainner removed (failed invislaign treatment) and a new retainer made, I have the final impressions done this week and have an instal date at the end of Nov. My Ortho has scheduled a 1 1/2 hour appointment to fit the upper arch. can anyone decribe the proces...

After many years of considering fixing my teeth I've decided to go for it. I have chosen the Lingual route with Incognito and will have them on my upper arch only. I am very concerned that I will lisp, but I will take the risk and hope it goes away after a few days. I am told treatment will last for...
