It takes alot of courage to finally take the first step. (I know from experience) It definetly is life changing, for the better that is. If you decide to get braces try calling 1-800-4braces they have orthodontists that take monthly payments and no money down....thats what I am doing...good luck to ...

Naomi, that sounds like exactly what is happening to me. My gums were fine 3 months ago and now that my bottom teeth are moving I have noticed my gum line receding only on one tooth. What is a gum graft? Is that a out of the pocket expense ( like braces) or does insurance pay for that? Is it painful?

Kiwi, my gums are in great shape. I don't know why this one is receding...it isnt red or swollen and no pockets either...it's really weird... I definately am going to make an appt.....I'll keep you posted......Thanks for your reply

I have noticed that the gum is pulling away from one of my bottom teeth. (only one) I never noticed it before my braces...Does anyone know what the cause of this is? and what problems this will cause?

Thanks...

Yeah!!!

I am going in for my first adjustment in a few weeks...my question is what am I in for? Does the tightening hurt worse than getting the initial hardware?

I just got my braces on exactly 1 week ago...please tell me when will I be able to chew a piece of meat???...like a big juicy steak!
