Hi againbrace! :) thanks a lot! I know... I can't wait till the extractions so then I can actually see some movement and of course, the hard part is over. Sorry that I haven't posted any pics yet, I will get to that very soon. In 2 days it will be 2 weeks that I've had braces, time really does go by...

So today marks the 8th day. I feel no pain whatsoever. I never thought I would be able to say that haha... seemed very unfortunate considering the first few days were real painful. I'm happy that I'm already used to it, I thought it would take like 2 weeks. Went to my consultation for my extraction ...

wow we really are exactly in the same boat!! haha.. i could relate to everyone you said. although i don't have my bottom braces yet so i'm sure you're feeling more pressure than me. i'm glad i can chew with my back teeth because there's no way i can bite with my front teeth. it sucks eating bread to...

Desert Rose - Thank you!! I feel slightly better from the last time I posted, although my throat still hurts. I still feel some pressure from the braces, but only when I bite down on them. How's it going for you? mikesmile - I know right!! Definitely a double whammy haha, I didn't go to a school fo...

Oh definitely I'm taking pills too! Advil does it for me. I'm also going to let my cheeks toughen up a bit but they cut so badly I just couldn't resist the wax. Yea I've been rinsing with salt water to help them go away, it's a good remedy! My teeth hurt a lot too, I mean I know it's gonna be like t...

It's day 3 and I am in moderate pain. My teeth pretty much hurt except for my molars (even better cause I need them to chew) and the hooks are digging into my cheeks real bad. I'm putting wax but they only help for so long. I really hope I'm not gonna have to deal with this for the 2 yrs I have them...

Hey Desert Rose! Don't worry about the discoloration it's definitely the glue from the braces. When they put mine on 2 of the bracket still had a red/blue color to them but went away the next day. I wanted to ask you if the hooks are digging into your cheeks as well? They hurt so much... they're mak...

Hey mikesmile! It's the next morning and finally I get feeling the pain. The inside of my cheek is all cut up and my front teeth hurt pretty badly. I feel this sucks more than spacers because at least those didn't cut me up inside my cheeks. I am putting some wax on the hooks so they don't bother me...

I made a mistake! Not taking out canine's, taking out my 4 first bicuspids.

Posting my journey here!

Hey everyone! I just got my ceramic braces on today, well only my upper teeth. I am getting my bottoms on January 11. Overall the procedure didn't hurt and it doesn't really hurt right now. It's just an annoying feeling that I'm gonna have to get used to. I just learned that I'm going to have to pul...

My friend was telling me that braces was for cosmetic reasons. (she had braces herself) Obviously we want to look/feel better, that's one of the reasons we get them. But also, if we have an overbite, underbite, etc. we want those to be fixed too because teeth just get worse and worse and later on in...

GOOD LUCK DESERT ROSE!

mikesmile - Maybe you'll only have to wear it for a year, who knows, hopefully!! Best of luck at your next appointment, and thanks :) Desert Rose Thank you!! I'll be thinking of you as well haha, well you'd already have 'em on by the time I get them. My appointment is 10:30 Pacific Time. I'll be at...

Oh I see, well hopefully this time around will fix anything that's wrong. I'm hoping to fix my bite as well. Thanks! Good luck at your next appointment..and by the way, how long are you going to have the braces on for? I'll look into your story
