"just had my first adjustment appointment 4 weeks after having cfast braces fitted. i had some teeth filed after she removed the wire, but she was very careful and it didn't hurt a bit." Hi Daveyw - brilliant to hear from someone else having cfast braces!! And also that the filing wasn't ...

good luck with your appointment Belle :thumbsup: I've had my cfast braces in for 4 weeks, just had my first adjustment last Saturday. I have never heard of Cfast braces. what are they? sorry for the late reply, better late than never.... :D Cfast is just another brand name for a bracket and wire al...

kribbo, i'm doing a 6 month-ish course using cfast braces. i'm 6 weeks in so far, and have noticed some definite movement, which i'm very happy about. i'm a long way from straight front teeth yet, but i'm still very positive about things so far. my only real concern atm is how loose the second front...

i had a home made griddled bacon double cheese burger, sin free fries, and salad. (like a whopper meal without the bun, one of my favorites)
not a great idea for a first meal... it took me nearly an hour to eat it, and my jaw was aching by the time i'd finished....

i had a brace when i was about 13-ish? (it was a fairly long time ago and i don't exactly remember...) for about a year, younger brother broke brace (accidentally.....) when taken out to eat. i don't remember the how's and why's but i wasn't taken back to the dentist for a new brace. by the time i t...

good luck with your appointment Belle

hi all, been a while again. just past the 4 week mark and been back to my dentist. tbh up till now i've had very little discomfort, a little cutting up of the gums until they toughened up. and teeth a little sensitive at times, no need for any pain relief or wax. and i can definitely see a small amo...

Thanks for the welcome TMJjill, i've just had my brace fitted yesterday, not the inman aligner i was looking at, but a tooth coloured fixed system at my local dentists called 'cfast' which is a UK version of '6 months smiles' i think. a couple of teeth are a little sensitive atm, but it's not as bad...

Hi everyone :-D i've just joined this forum as i'm currently looking at the different options for braces. i had a brace when i was very young, but never finished the treatment.(long story) i've always wanted straight teeth, but cost, life, and other things seemed to get in the way... not least of wh...
