Any update? Have you seen the ortho yet?

Hi! I will be having them removed on Saturday. Happy about that, but regret havign them in the first place now. I just want them to relapse.

Hi there! So I finally had a word with my orthodontist today, and my braces, which I've been very unhappy about, are coming off on Saturday. I've had so much pain and can't wait to get them off - it was a bad idea which I thought would correct something minor, but turned out to make things worse :/ ...

Thanks, Candyland! Are your teeth fine now after that? Losing my tooth enamel is a big nightmare of mine...well, I already lost a bit from not being too careful over the years and the tips of my teeth are a little see-through. I'm just scared.

Hi there, I'm not liking my ceramic braces at all and am going to ask that they be removed. My teeth were fi e and these are so big and bulky id rather have them off and be done with them. However, I'm now reading all the horror stories about ceramic braces and enamel damage. I wasn't warned about t...

Thanks everyone! The trouble is, I think it's a bit too much hassle for very slight changes (apart from the canine, my teeth were pretty straight to begin with). I'm just worried that I have now done some serious damage to my teeth. Can damage be caused in 6 weeks? Will getting them off now be bad f...

Hi! I'm new here and wondering if I could get some advice. I've been in braces for about 5 weeks now (top teeth). I had braces when I was 17 for overcrowding (had 4 extractions). My teeth were fine, though a couple were sliiightly crooked but otherwise great. However, my wisdom teeth came in, in pla...
