I just got my braces on Wednesday (now Friday) and so far, I'm ok with pain. Pressure, yes, but no pain. However, my ortho put these 2 blue things on 2 of my molars. Bite correctors, I believe. My back teeth do not touch at all and I have no idea how I'm supposed to eat or chew anything o.O I haven'...

I just got mine on on Wednesday and have had very little pain at all....just pressure! : )

Awww (((hugs))) Soon soon buddy! And I can absolutely relate to what you said about your brother getting braces and you not. My sister got them, despite not wanting them. And I didn't, even though I desperately wanted them. I am now 27 (almost 28) and just got them on on Wednesday. However, I'm the ...

HAHA Great post!

Oh wow....This makes me very nervous at the idea of having 2 extracted!

Good luck to you Stargirl!

Any update? Are you feeling any better about them now or been able to eat more?

(((hugs))) to you! You're so close!

Oh my gosh! What an amazing difference! I bet you feel amazing They look FANTASTIC!

Awww, and then they'll be done and you'll have fantastically straight teeth AND a Phd Thats awesome!

YES! It was the first thing I noticed when I was introduced to him. He has amazingly straight/perfect teeth. I seriously hope he can work his magic on mine...LOL

Since I'm new, I don't think I can see the pic, but I absolutely understand. My family keeps telling me they don't understand why I'm getting braces....they don't realize it's more then just cosmetic! And even if it was just cosmetic....they don't see what you see when you look in the mirror. Good l...

Oh my gosh, they look fantastic. I'm definitely going to remember to take befores and afters like these, what a difference!

I'm sure a lot varies by where you live and your orthodontist themselves. I had my consultation about a week ago and it's going to be $5700, with $1300 down and $217 a month for 18 months, for the Damon Brace System. The "work" I have to have done is fixing a 60% cross bite, an overjet, an...

May is my month! I'm nearly 28 and getting the Damon Brace System put on. I'm super excited to start working towards my "dream" smile (I know that's super cliche, but I'm sure most of you can relate...lol). I've wanted braces since I was a teen and was never able to get them (my sister nee...

Awww : ) Good luck to you!

I'm kind of in the same position! I wanted braces all my teen years to fix how narrow my smile is (pretty straight, but still narrow), and a slight overjet. I get mine on in May! I can definitely relate to the insecurities!
