Just had my appointment Tuesday. They "polished" (the word they used) my teeth so that I wouldn't have dark triangles between my teeth. They went in between my front two teeth and several of my bottom teeth. I only have to wear my elastic band at night now. They said everything is still on...

So they dug more out and redid it. They made sure it wasn't hitting my bottom tooth and so far so good.

So I thought I'd give a little update. Wednesday night part of one of my fillings came out while I was flossing. I went to the dentist the next day and they just refilled it. That night I felt it kind of come out but I pushed it back in and had no problems the next day. Well Thursday night the one t...

I seem to be waiting longer than everyone. Should I bring it up with my ortho? I have ceramic on top and metal on bottom. I wait 8 weeks between appointments. I always have to go and get wires cut and stuff between appts. And the last appt we had to reschedule earlier b/c my elastic band wouldn't st...

Thank you! I found my orthodontic evaluation page from my orthodontist. Figure I'd document it here in case I lost it some day. Diagnostic Findings Joint Evaluation-Normal range of jaw motion Facial Evaluation-Good profile; Lower facial height appears normal Dental-Crowded upper teeth; crowded lower...

I really like the light purple or the light pink.

I go about every 8 weeks. So once every 2 months. I'm curious if that's the standard or not.

Thank you!!!
