hey is this chrystal?? I'm very well thanks. how's u? Still ploding along with my braces. The end is in sight somewhat. It hasn't been that bad tho to be fair. A walk in the park really (touch wood I haven't jinxed that lol) I asked the golden question early on in the year when I could expect them o...

Well, a lot has sure changed in 11 months! My teeth are SUPER straight, but a few new issues have now cropped up, and I am considering orthognathic surgery :( How is everyone else going in their braces journeys??? I'd love to hear from you. Hey stranger I don't come on here anymore (must pop back m...

Are you having top wisdoms out or bottoms? I had my tops out last year & it wasn't too bad to be honest. I struggled more with my molars than my top wisdoms. I was told to take a week off work too becuase of swelling etc. didn't need it. I was fine. Everyone's different though & i'm guessing...

UPDATE - My teeth are starting to hurt like a b**ch now OOOOWWWWWW :shock: :evil: Also how do you guys manage to eat. Everything gets stuck in the dam things. Not used to this with my linguals & it never happened before with my tube. I just ate a salad at my desk & started talking & it w...

Just back from my fourth adjustment I think it is and I am finally FULLY braced. Had my bottom front 4 teeth bracketed and connected to the rest of my brace. It's taken 4-5 months but that left canine has finally shifted over. It's been fustrating waiting but I can now finally watch them start to li...

It gets easier. your teeth stop being sore after about a week & yes they may be a little sore after each adjustment but nothing like the beginning. I remember that pain. It took me about a month to feel totally comfortable with my lingual but to be honest so far i'm finding this brace malarky to...

Hi huni Just stopping by to show you some love :D :wink: I can relate to having crooked minging teeth whilst everyone else seems to have beautiful straight nashers. I've never had straight adult teeth. Linguals helped me finally do something about it & stop me from putting it off any longer. I c...

Thanks for stopping by Chrystal :D Yeah i'm chuffed that i've finally had some comments especially as i've been so annoyed at how slow my teeth are moving. My uppers aren't the problem it's my lowers. I've had my lowers braced for 4 months & literally there is nothing!!!! :-= :-+ 1 of my twisted...

Thanks for posting a recent pic. I don't think your end result is as far away as you might think. I personally think your teeth look pretty good but that said they weren't that bad to start with anyway. It's just that one tooth on the lowers that needs correcting in my eyes but apart from that looki...

Hiya Love my lingual. So used to it now. Speech was a bit of a problem but was ok after the first couple of weeks & same with eating. After the first month it felt really comfortable. The first month I had some problems with a wire poking me but its all sorted now & comfortable in my mouth. ...

well ???? are they off???

pics please. you've left us hanging far too long lol

Hey volare I've only just come across your story. Going to follow it now. post a piccie of what your teeth are looking like now. I have lingual upper & ceramic lower & have only been in my lingual brace 2 months, so early days but seen a couple of pics of people's end results & now worry...

WOW I am so chuffed!!! I had my first 2 comments this week about my teeth looking straighter. I thought they were starting to look it but because no one had mentioned it I thought it wasn't that noticeable. I am over the moon. My dad made the first comment on Saturday whilst talking to me & the ...

Thanks lilone. Do they really look that much straighter?? :shock: :shock: I didn't think there was a big difference but when I look in the mirror & smile it's defo a different smile staring back at me :) Trust me they were awful to begin with .... you must need your eyes testing lol :D My lowers...
