Haha, how funny. Yeah I remember I spent months trawling youtube before I got my braces too. I'm surprised more people haven't tried doing the same thing.

Hi everyone. I took a photo every day during my braces treatment (about 14 months) and I've edited them all together into a neat little timelapse video. Check out the youtube link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnO4kCyI4Lw I originally posted the video about a year ago but had some issues wit...

I had a similiar experience... I had upper and lower crowding and the ortho "pulled out" my upper teeth to make room for the lower before tightening it all up during the end of my treatment. Check out my video below if you're curious. It might help you better understand the process of spre...

Hey, sorry for coming off sounding a little harsh. It's just that your original post was so negative. Do your teeth really look like crap? Really?? You say that you don't think your ortho can even fix this, yet you haven't spoken to him about it yet. You're asking what people think caused this to ha...

Hmm these kinds of questions really bug me. If you have issue's... just speak to your orthodonist about it! It really is quite pointless asking a forum on advice when you have an amazing wealth of knowledge at your disposal. What is so scary about just *talking through your issues* with your ortho? ...

I had my damon's removed about a month ago and I remember a few appointments where I'd go in thinking "ok, my teeth have stopped moving, I have no pain" expecting a new wire or something only to be left with my current painfree wire for another 6 weeks. I wouldn't worry about it, your orth...

Hmm, if your teeth are "perfect" apart from a small gap then maybe you should see a cosmetic dentist. Perhaps you could get some bonding (or in a last case, veneers). Either would be cheaper and faster than getting a complete set of braces to correct a single tooth issue.

Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments. Getting braces isn't an easy decision but it's one of the best things i've ever done. I made the vid because I remember going through a "hmm should I? shouldn't I?" stage and I kinda relied on other people's experiences to find the motivation to...

Haha I love your post because it's EXACTLY how i felt as well. I had my braces put on when I was 27 (after 5 years of being single) and had them taken off about a month ago (I'm now 28). I held off because I thought "18 months of celibacy... I can't afford to waste a year in my 20's...If I don'...

Hi, just thought I'd share my braces video with you guys. I'm 28, started my braces treatment on Feb 2009 and had debanding in April of 2010. Every day during my treathment I'd take a photo to document progress and now the finished and complete video has been posted below. I've seen a lot of "B...
