Re: Frightful yank by dental assistants causing shaky lower

Eeeks! I haven't had any adjustments yet, just got braced 3 weeks ago---this makes me very nervous. If your teeth are wiggling you should probably see our dentist and not try to wiggle them.

Re: orthodontic treatment in another city

The inconvenience just doesn't seem worth it to me personally! Also, have you considered time and travel costs?
