Rep is off!!!! Best day ever I am sure getting the braces off will be great but not sure if it will top getting that thing off!!!! BUT.... Now I got rubber bands.. Holy heck!! These suckers hurt like crazy!! I only have to wear them at night so a bottle of Advil later night three seems a little bett...

29 when I got mine on. Also got Rpe it worked great my whole face has changed for the better!!! Many ppl said Rpe don't work in adults. They were wrong it worked.

I use the sonic and my dentist also old me to use kids tooth brush for getting around the brackets better.m

Does getting the Rpe off hurt? I have had it on for a year.

Rpe comes off in 6 weeks it has been a year. I am so ready!!!!!!! Just hope it does not hurt!

Wow it has been a while! I still have the Rpe in not comming out till November. I am a little afraid to get it out. Hope it does not hurt. I read a lot of comments about it not working bc of my age but it has worked great!!! Such a big change.

So I have turned the Rpe 4 times now. It feels like my head it being squeezed. But the last time I turned it was not that bad. But I hate this thing!!!! I am counting down the days till this thing comes out. I really hate that I can't talk right. 6 more months!!!

Tonight will be the first time I will be doing two turns on the Rpe. I am thinking about Having a few glasses of wine first. I don't want to do this at all. h

Rpe update... I can not talk this thing is horrible!!! I would not have gotten braces if I knew it would be like this. I want to rip it out!!!!!!!

RPE=complete torture!!! o my goodness I have been gagging all day!! It is even hard to swallow. I tried to eat but I keep gagging. Also I can't talk right I had to pass a call at work bc the guy could not understand me!!! 6 months not sure if I can handle it. I broke down I tears!!! This has to get ...

Uggggggggg hate spacers my top teeth are so sore!! My braces are getting on my last nerve right now!!

So time for spacers agian. I get them on top the time. Advil here I come!!!!!

I know what you are thinking. The first few day were awful. It gets better I promise I am 22 days in and I have started forgetting I even have them on. Good luck and like the other person said read others stories it does help.

I love the sonic care!! Ever since I started using it my dentist said my teeth are so clean. My check ups are awesome. I will never uses a manual brush again.... Except when my teeth are hurting really bad from the braces. Lol worth every penny!!!

Spacers made me crazy!!!! Hated them!!! One was so bad I pulled it out with tweezers! I just could not take it. I took Advil (4) then two hours took tylenol (2). When they pulled them out it felt so good!!! It wil be over soon. The first few days of braces are horrible too. It gets better I promise!
