That is amazing! I'm glad you were able to get them on already even if they are just on the bottom! Is there a reason you just got them on the bottom now?

Counting days to have m...

[quote="tb41nTX"]Thanks for the advice on the foods. I will be sure to be prepared. The office hasn't said anything to me at all about pain meds or soft foods. Am guessing they will at the appointment tomorrow. The only way I have been finding out more on the daily details is this site. I ...

Well, as I replied in another topic I started, my bottom brackets were put on just today! :) Upper will be put on in a couple of months, my ortho said he prefers to close some gaps first on my lower teeth prior to place my upper brackets. So, I will be waiting to be a complete "braceface"!...

Greetings from Mexico. Some years ago I lost a molar and had it replaced just few weeks ago. But in the meantime my front upper teeth separated more than they used to be. My dentist suggested me to put braces in order to solve this issue. Well, I am 42 years young :D and never used them as a teen, i...
