Hi Wimbledon and congratulations on ending your braces journey! I remember when I had my braces off the first time round how massive my teeth looked. This is something you will get used to as at the moment you are seeing a lot more surface tooth area than you have seen in a while! With regards to yo...

Hi all, I'm afraid I need a bit of a rant. I've now had my braces for 17 months (original time scale was 18 months) and thought things might have been on the homeward stretch. As pictured in my avatar, I had the diagonal elastic to correct midline. So I was wearing this as much as possible and thing...

Congratulations on the millionth reader!

I think we'd all agree that without this site a lot of us wouldn't have felt as knowledgeable or supported throughout our orthodontic voyages. Thank you Lynn for your unique and all-round fantastic archwired.com!

*Wearing them generally as my teeth and smile are very important to me

I'm not proud of:

*My orthodontist's lack of communication
*Not brushing my teeth after every snack between meals

Consider your options but ma...

Dramagyrl, my waterpik makes me feel squeaky clean along with my electric toothbrush and whitening toothpaste to get rid of stains!

Hi Bell and welcome! I have Damon 3s top and bottom and have no problem. I don't think they're any worse or better particularly than any other type of braces and I am in braces for the 2nd time round after having standard braces as a teenager. Working in customer services I have to work face to face...

Woohoo!!! That's a great feeling isn't it! Enjoy ...

John I think you're very brave for going through it again. I'm not sure I'd have the patience and would probably be angry and shouty and tell him that I wasn't going through all that again! However it will make for better teeth again, but I'd have a serious chat with him and ask what he plans to do ...
