My braces are coming off next month , very happy with the bottom
but my top two teeth need some bonding. I"m having impressions
taking next week, for retainer do I get bonding done before retainer
or wait until after I'm fitted for retainer?

Teeth are straight, now have a appt next week. just wondering about teeth now, Not being tight together . N...

Has anyone had RPI on a front tooth, I did today and have a small space
between my front teeth. I'm wondering how fast it will close. up..

I was so glad to be able to eat and had no staining.
So I guess you just have to watch the way you eat.

Hi and Welcome. I too, some times from time to time still have pain from either adjustment or :P of the movement of my teeth and my gums get sore and swell some of a bit. I do the warm water salt rinses and it really does help out alot I'm not sure how but it work for me. I do at least 3 a day when ...

Having a early fall day here, and I have been wanting to make a big
pot of chili so I did. Now has anyone ate chili before with these type of
braces on. if so what kind of mess will I be looking at. and what to do for it.. Thanks for you thoughts on this..

Spacing, I had some spacing on my bottom teeth, which are small teeth and I have had my braces for almost 7 months and I have to say my spaces are just about closed up. I had power chains put on top and bottom and a zing string I think that is the name put on the bottom and it did the trick closed t...

Have you seen the manager of the Yankee baseball team braces? Even tho I'm a Red Sox's fan, I notice Yankee's managers braces... Metals he is wearing now.......

I was starting to think maybe I might be going a little crazy with all the changes with these braces... I could write a book of all the things that go along with them. I can't wait for the next thing to happen. Today my rubber band started to break while eating and that never happen before. But mayb...

Not sure if anyone feels this but every time I drink something cold
I feel my mouth getting tighter . I haven't notice it yet with something
hot... I forgot to ask if it is the stainless steel new wire on now..

I"m a wife Mom soon to first time Grandma or Nana. Can't wait and I too, have had braces for about 7 months and two teeth on the top and two on the bottom out. So it has been just a grand time for me too, I still eat the soft food, nothing hard. This site is such great help for me with any thin...

I swear I thought my 20 year old son gave me gray hair. Now I know it is these braces . So far I have had 3 brackets fall off and one wire poking in my gum now this tooth cracking on the edge and a bit into the tooth. Now 22 hrs of labor to have my two boys was nothing compared to this. I guess it c...

Yes, My otho said I can get it built up too, while wearing braces , I was just a little concerned because it looks like it might be coming apart on
the edge, and I did this with my coffee cup too. Scary when it is one of your front teeth. Next time I drink my coffee I will try to be more awake.

Has anyone every broke a front tooth or any while wearing braces?
Did you get it fixed. And bracket put back on.... I have one that is starting to look like it might be on its way to coming apart. I don't want
to spend the next two years with a broken front tooth, any suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks ,, yes that is what I thought. Gums seem to be much better today. Did a very good job with my brushing not sure if that was it but
it is better.
