Hi sadpanda, Thanks for replying. We have kind of a similar duration that we've had braces, around 15 weeks now, but where as you experience it every day I don't this is the first time it has been swollen. I Feel sorry for you if it's every day you must get so frustrated with it :( Hopefully it's be...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced a fat lip because of their braces? I work in a call centre, so am on the phone most of the day, and yesterday I had forgot my wax (which I hardly ever need anyway) but I think my canine has shifted a bit, and it has created a huge ulcer and a fa...

I love this part of treatment, I always chewed my nails really badly, and I now have gorgeous long nails.

Had to treat myself to lots of new nail varnish

I have a weird habit of moving the spring in my mouth with my tongue. I can feel it springing but I love the feel haha!!

Sorry I'm late

Worst: the rubbing pain in the inside of my mouth, thank heavens for wax!!!!

Best: having a smile i'm proud of showing at the end of the treatment of course!

I'm on my 8th week of treatment this week, and haven't had an adjustment yet as my ortho keeps cancelling on me, but should de...

Hi Catgyrl, Thank you for replying and hope your journey goes really quick for you. It's lovely to hear you can see changes already!! I can't wait till i'm 5 months into mine. How long are you in braces for? You're right though it is fascinating how ortho's know exactly how to move and and align tee...

hi serious thinker, I have my top teeth only in metal braces. I had 7 baby teeth extractions at the same time when i was 12, I had soooo many teeth and not enough mouth! My bottom teeth have all moved into place naturally, apart from the lower fang type one (don't know it's name) which is twisted in...
