Hello, I've had 6 month smile braces for a about 5/6 weeks and had my first agonising check up at the dentist a few days ago. I've obviously been keeping track of my teeth but I've noticed that they seem to be moving around a bit oddly. The front top two lined up beautifully within the first 4 weeks...

Good luck with your braces. I'm 31 and I wanted braces for so long and finally took the plunge 5 weeks ago. I was worried about what other people would think but I was so surprised that my work mates would actually pull me aside to discuss them because they too were seriously thinking about having i...

Hello, I know this post is a year old so I was curious so ask how you got on? I'm 31 and have had my braces on for a month. The first checkup appointment was very painful so was wondering if you had the wire changed and the teeth filed down every visit? Thanks!

I'll have to search for the other one incase someone has given helpful advice :P I've just woken up to day 3 (I'm in Scotland). T...

Thanks Mapleleafman888. I guess it's just a bit of a difficult adjustment. I have wanted this for so long and now they're in I'm thinking 'oh no, what have I done?'. I can see my diet consisting of mainly soft cereal and soup but even that tastes so bizarre! Is there such a thing as some kind of gum...

Hello, I had my braces fitted yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect but they are quite uncomfortable and will take a bit of getting used to. I've been trying to use the wax but I find it eventually dislodges and rolls into my mouth which is pretty unpleasant. My mouth is beginning to get quite sor...
