WAY To GO!!!!! Definitely there is an improvement...gives me hope that my teeth might move quickly as well!!!

Keep us posted with the pictures!!!

AHEM - I find this pretty insulting - of course I'm brushing my ****ing teeth before flossing, but if you folks have discovered some way not to produce SALIVA whilst you floss, perhaps you could be so kind as to share that with me, because I surely haven't managed to find the "off" switch...

Yeah, same for me and I agree that there should be an on/off switch on the handle. Mine has a pause button but I will have to get used to that...lots of stuff going on at once with that thing!!!

be prepared to get a new waterpik every 2-3 months since the motor dies no matter what you do. good concept, but product design needed a bit more work. the manufacturers are pretty good about getting the new unit out to you but it gets tiresome after a while having to keep paying for shipping then ...

I wonder whether Meryaten is brushing his teeth well before flossing. Are you, Meryaten? :?: LOL - I guess I was kind of wondering that myself when I read that he gets the floss all slimed up. YIKES!!! I got the Crest Glide Threader Floss. I can't thread it between my teeth in most spots because my...

I got a Waterpik today and I think it may take some practice. I had water all over my neck, shirt, face, plus the mirror, countertop, the machine itself, etc. I did get it to essentially floss my teeth but really, all I got out was blood from one spot. No food or particles, although I'm sure I got s...

... but in a full picture of healthiness <<is that a word??? :? Pretty sure that's a word... On Topic...I have really been eating/drinking only when necessary. I added the drinking in because I have been drinking smoothies and soy protien shakes because I can't chew. I have been able to get some ma...

I have elastic hooks on damn near all my teeth...guess I've been foiled again (the first time was with those worthless morgan bumpers). I'll have to go back to the loving arms of good 'ole reliable wax. WTH??? Please do not tell me that you have had your braces on for almost a year and they still b...

Congrats on taking a huge step to a better smile. I got my braces almost 2 weeks ago. Like you, eating seemed impossible. My back teeth barely touched! Still don't. Plus my front teeth hit the brackets. I found chewing in a circular motion helps but still alot of unchewed food gets swallowed. It is...

i'm kind of confused about the brackets on the inside of your front teeth. Hope you get pictures up soon. -Hannah To be honest with you, I am also confused about this. The ortho and assistant really did not explain anything to me as they did it which I found to be a little odd. As I was unable to s...

You may have guessed it from my user name...I'm 34 years old. Today is day 1 with braces. I have a large bite - my bottom teeth are completely hidden when I bite down. I had 2 teeth (one top, one bottom) erroneously extracted as a pre-teen - crazy dentist who pulled perfectly healthy teeth that were...
