My orthodontist never gave me any specific rules when it came to drinking. For my personal tastes I stick to just beer whenever I want something to drink. Since they told me from the very beginning to avoid any soda pop, I also avoid any sugary alcoholic drinks. They kind of fit into that same categ...

I'll share my thoughts as I am also in braces for a second time. I had braces around the age of 12-13 years old and had them for about two years. I was young and dumb and did everything I could to rush myself out of them. I had straight teeth and wore my retainer, but by the end of high school it st...

Update from my first post, I got on the scale and I am now at 203 pounds. I haven't been at this weight since before I was 21.

Where do you live peach? The only reason I ask because I might need some cosmetic work done after I am done with my braces on at least 3 of my teeth, and might consider some work on 4 other teeth, and would like to get an idea of the possible cost. Are those costs per tooth?

As a single guy at 30 with braces. I think it could only be thought of in a very positive way by someone you might be interested in dating. For me if I were to meet a woman to date, I would only hope she might look at me and think he still cares a great deal about having good teeth.

I eat pizza but you have to tear up the crust into small pieces. I haven't even tried to eat apples, I have replaced it with unsweetened applesauce. I also like carrots, but haven't tried to eat them since having braces.

Most of my weight has come off in the face and around my stomach, which always seems to be the hardest to lose. But my family, friends, and co workers have all noticed the weight I have lost.

When I started my braces at the end of january of this year. I really was happy it was going to fix my crossbite of my teeth, and being in braces at 30. I thought I would see if I could loss some weight from all the food and drink I know I would have to give up. I stopped drinking all pop, juice, an...

Yes, but sometimes I feel like the teenagers I see with them at my gym. But I feel cool that I can pay for them myself. My mom told me she was proud of me for knowing something was wrong with teeth and bite, and going about finding an orthodontist to getting them fixed.

I started my second time in braces on Jan. 27, about two months months after I turned 30. Expected treatment time is 12-20 months.
