If I had to start all over again, I would get the crest white-strips to whiten my teeth before having braces on as everyone including yourself will be looking at them more!!! then again you may not need whitening!!!! Next, eat up!!!!! All your favorite c...

Hello Fellow Bracefaces!!!! It's been awhile and I wasn't even sure if I remembered my password! Hope you are all well and I plan on catching up on all the stories and latest posts. I don't know the exact # of weeks I've had my braces on, I've stopped counting the days as I've found it seemed to dra...

Hi Laura!!! My kids are giving me a hard time too!!! LOL, but you have to remember why you are doing this!!!! It could be worse, you could be writing this 6 years from now and starting at 47 like me!!!! I always wanted braces, my best friend during middle school had them, but my parents didn't plan ...

My Story (progress photos included): viewtopic.php?f=9&t=39453

Hi Tianna, My bottom left band felt a little awkward when I bit down on it last week, luckily I noticed this before I left the dental office. The doctor "polished" or sanded down the band so that when I bit down, it would be a little more comfortable. Well it's not perfect and the bite fee...

These are excellent results in such a short time!!!!! As I am just starting my journey with braces, seeing results like this totally encourages me!!! I also have overcrowding and have not done any extractions. Thank you for sharing your before and after pictures!!!! My Story with photos: http://www....

My orthodontist called exactly a week after I was fully braced. I thought it was great that she called to see if I had any questions and to see if I felt ok. :heart: After the first three days, I have had no pain no change nothing... :shock: But last night as I was flossing I noticed where it was ve...

Thanks for the kind words Klobird and Kipeleo. I don't like any pictures of myself, especially blown up closeups!!!!! I've ignored my teeth all my life and the current scrutiny is a bit much! Well I survived the first weekend with braces. No pain whatsoever!!! I'm a little disappointed but happy tha...

I've been really hesitant to post my pictures, because I'm embarrassed!!! But I know that it will be helpful for others as others have shared with me their photos and progress. So here we go: My overbite is mild at 5mm, crowding and wearing down of top and bottom teeth due to bite issues. If you loo...

OH MY Kipeleo, Your teeth are beautiful and will be even more perfect when you are done!!! Did anyone even notice you got them? I haven't been able to load my pics, the files are too large and I've resize them twice already.... Wait till you see what I've been living with for all these years... Nettie
