Yep, that has just happened to be too. I was getting excited thinking I was going back to my autho to "progress to the next stage" and nothing changed doh! I'm still in the 'movement' wire and there's still more moving to do so no need to change anything.

Just wanted to bump this to the top to see if anyone else can comment, has this happened to anyone else and what was your outcome if you've been through it? The right side of my teeth now seem much more 'developed' than the left. If this is just due to bracket positioning I think I will get seen bef...

Does anyone else have days where you hardly notice your brace then all of a suddenly your lips or cheek start to rub against the brace and get sore? [/url] Sorry I can't answer the main part of your question. I would say you are right though. To the bit I have quoted: I find that I have a 'honeymoo...

It's actually not that bad, it's not noticable to others but when you start with braces and you're self obssessed by looking in the mirror ha ha!

Thanks for that. Roll on the next adjustment then

So far so good

Hi all I wonder if this has happened to anyone and if someone could give me some reassurance.... I had my extractions done about 2 weeks ago now. Things are fine and healing has gone well. I have now started to seeing a fair amount of movement and one of my front teeth and 'dropped' about 1/2mm lowe...

Nope, not mention of any fake teeth. I was just told to go careful with eating becuase as there is now a larger gap between the brackets food could invert the wire and it could come out at the back. I haven't had this happen to me though and things are healing up nicely and i'm now back to eating &q...

Yeah it does feel weird! Hopefully another week or so and it'll be fine - well fingers crossed anyway!

I had mine done today. I am having this same thought!

All done - don't know what I was worried about! All in all and 'pleasant' experience.

I had my two extraction today. First off I had to see the orthodontist to have my wire and two brackets removed. Then up stairs to the dentist to have my teeth removed. Then back downstairs to the orthodontist again to have my wire re-fitted. All in all I've had a 'good' experience with it. I am in ...

Blimey! Do you have any teeth left?! He he

Well done you!

Yeah I think I will go with some form of painkiller before hand. I am having an unorthodox extraction? Apprently, my root is curved into the jaw bone and he is having to cut the crown before removing the root - saying he could do the orthodox way and complication could occur and he would have to cut...
