Re: SO frustrated after extractions
I also know how you feel. I had two upper premolars extracted on 11/4 and got a new wire on 15/4. Putting on the new wire hurt like hell and I'm also supposed to get elastics next week. However, I love food, and although my back teeth barely touch when I chew and they really hurt, I managed to go ou...

Re: Extractions while linguals still on????
Hello diegorgeous, I had two upper premolars extracted on monday with my brackets and wires on. Today I got a new wire (ouch!!). Before I went through with my extractions I read a lot about other people with extractions and it seems doing them with braces on is normal. Just ask your dentist if he ca...

Re: Broken archwire
Hi kaas!
The same thing happened to me. At the moment I also have my front 4 teeth connected plus three teeth on the left. The rest is wire-free. I will get the next (thicker) one next week. Hopefully this one won't break that easily.
So...I guess it is kind of normal, if the first wire breaks.

Re: Getting braced tomorrow
Hey, you were right, he only installed the top. They're in for about 1 1/2 hours and I have no, absolutely ZERO speech problems. I sound exactly the same as before. Wow :) Eating is difficult, but not because it hurts. My back teeth don't have contact anymore when I bite, so chewing is difficult, bu...

Getting braced tomorrow
Hey, So...tomorrow morning I will get my upper linguals and lower ceramics. Somehow I regret my choice of the lower ceramics because they still can be seen. I wish I could go for lower linguals too. Has any of of you ever changed the type of braces during treatment? However, all I wanna do now is ru...

Re: 23 and damon braces - From day 1 - Pics inside!
Wow, the result is amazing!! And so fast! However, it's interesting to see, that there cases, where even Damon can not prevent extractions. Because that's what they promote on their websites... I wondered if Damon could correct my crowding without extraction, but when I see your results i feel that'...

So, I need your advice... Here's my story (in short): I have a severe crowing in my upper jaw, so my canine tooth stand...
