Hiya I just PM'd you!! Just wanted to say I'm 30'(just..) and my ortho never said anything about damons widening my arch unless I wasn't listening! : ) But I will ask him on the 28th when I see him because I wanna know now.

Oh my god I really jumped when the picture popped up!

That's interesting Isthistaken I never knew that! Quick update - Went to the dentist just now and got all numbed up only while I was waiting to go back in for the extraction, after she had a look at my X-rays, I noticed I wasn't numb around my tooth at all. She had managed to numb half my face inclu...

Thanks guys-it can't be any worse than labour and I've done that twice. So this should be a walk in the park!!! : )

Hey, I know it's not the same but I have an ALF at the moment (getting braces on the 8th) but I have been getting dry mouth just with that. I think it's because my mouths open a lot more. I don't even realise I'm sitting there with my mouth wide open. Nice. I've just been guzzling loads of water and...

Woo hoo! Lucky you : )

Hi all, I rang my ortho this morning and he said it will be fine for my dentist to take out the wisdom tooth. He said if it was any other tooth from the wisdom tooth onwards then its not necessary.

When I saw her on the 11th of march she said to come in for a cleaning which would have been pe...

I'm in England and I'm getting the Damon braces. Mine are costing £3,650 Inc retainers. But I gotta pay £160.00 per month for 18 months

People are gonna look at me at work and school and think " oooh look at her and her teeth". I don't know what's worse - dealing with my secret smile as I have been for too long or having my new smile and getting on everyone's nerves. Actually I do know but I'm starting to freak out about t...

Hello!

You must be so happy! Can't wait for mine soon but I'm worried I won't know how to smile.

Well done and good luck for the future : )

Hi everyone, just a quickie. On thursday my dentist is taking out my wisdom tooth as she feels it will give me more room for when my lower braces go on plus I do get a bit of pain from it every now and again. Also I think she's getting a bit paranoid about someone else looking at my teeth and judgin...

15-18 months for me : )

Hi there! I have no advice or info about the CD advancer as I have an ALF and I'm not even clued up about that! Feel like I no nothing about nothing lately but I'm sure someone will offer you some wisdom soon : )
