can I use waterpik water flosser with a fixed bonded retainer?????

Jackdaniels, I was wondering how long it took to get you clear retainer after you got the fixed one in place. I have my fixed retainer in place but I am waiting for the clear retainer to be posted to me by my dentist because he is quite far away. Scared my teeth are gonna move even with the bonded r...

Hey suicidtheory, my expander has arrows on it that point upwards in the direction the key goes. You put your key in where the arrows are and push the key until it hits the bar above. Hope that helps you out a bit. Good luck

I have an expander in my aligner and it does not change the shape of your face at all. It expands your mouth very slightly (as in you don,t even notice it). Once the treatment is finished and I get a permanent retainer in place my dentist has said that my molars will go back to their original positi...

lilpickle, I did the same thing and it is the smooth side that you should be feeling with you tongue. Im still wearing my inman as my clear aligner wasnt ready. Cant complain as the whole process has been so quick. Also using whitening 2 hours a day which is fine but quite hard to fit around wearing...

hi everyone, Smiletime - So glad alls going well for you as well JackDaniels - I wear my Inman around 16 hours per day (cant speak well with it in so cant wear it to work) Dominie - My dentist said he has only ever had one other case as quick as mine and the reason for it was that the person had onl...

Hey everyone, Can,t believe how quickly my teeth have moved. Had my checkup today and basically have been told one more month should do it. Thats only two months. My dentist can,t believe it, he gave me five months to begin with. Got my moulds done today for a clear aligner which I have to wear for ...

Hi everyone. Sorry if I confused ppl about the tightening of the aligner but just realised that my aligner has an expander built in to it that not all of them have. doh.lol. Doin ok with it but not wearing it as much as I should be. Not much pain now at all which I hope is normal??? Still very happy...

Well, Im a week in and have to tighten my aligner tomorrow. Getting on ok but cant wear it to work as my speech is not good and I am on the phone quite abit. The good news is I can actually see movement already. Really impressed so far so good. I hopefully will be able to wear it to work soon as I d...

hey, just like to say that I think I may lose a few pounds in weight due to the fact that I havent snacked today at all lol. Finding the aligner absolutely fine, the only thing that is sore is putting it back in again but that eventually goes away. Dreamer I got all the same advice as you except for...

Got my aligner in today. Im not gonna scare you Dreamer because I feel absolutely fine. So far so good. Got teeth shaved abit, not sore at all. Give me a few days and it could be a different story but quite surprised about how unpainful it is. My estimated treatment time is 5 months so I am at last ...
