Hey all. It's been a little while since I posted. I've had a lig change ... Due for another on the 13th of Jan. I got smoke coloured bands to try and they are Crap. Stain just as bad as white lol. I guess a regular coffee drinker Im just going to stain. I am getting colour next time to see how that ...

Hiya! I have had my braces a while, and I too go through what you have, stabbing ear pains, sometimes like throbbing. Yeah, I found it is from the braces, as your jaw and ears are connected, or something science related like that (I'm not very good at science) but I just take ibuprofen. This could ...

My top two were taken out as a child. My ortho did say that was a mistake, if they weren't taken out as a child my palate wouldn't be as small. Because I didn't want surgery to expand my palate he said to achieve the best cosmetic result I had to get the bottom two removed to match the top. I'm supe...

Thanks Neil. Huge achievement today! It was my birthday yesterday and my love got me a camera. I too some photos of myself smiling showing my teeth and put one on Facebook! First ever teeth photo on the Internet. Wow such a big deal to me :) I have my first appointment since getting them on in 2 day...

Yay good on you missmaree! I can't believe how much has changed already. I smile all the time even though my teeth are still shocking I just feel better inside. I signed up to sell scentsy, something I would never have done if I didn't have braces. I wouldn't say hi to people let alone try and conve...

Up to 36 months. It's a long process as he is camouflaging my underbite as I didn't want surgery
Crazy how fast the top see moving though. Biting into things feels so different!!

So I'm at the one month mark! Nothing new to report keen to get new ligs though!

They were basically covered in curry powder Neil, I didn't even think lol. Luckily though my bottom ones have returned to normal colour and top have faded a lot. Seeing as it's a bit of a hassle to get to town to change them I'm just going to leave it. Things are going great! Haven't had any issues ...

I'm just over the 2 week mark and the past few days I have been able to eat as I normally would.
I stuck to liquids the first week then slowly chewed on the back teeth. The longest thing for me was using my front teeth to bite. It's still a bit weird/tender to do that.

Yesterday I started experiencing short sharp pain in my left ear. It's quite painful but doesn't last very long. Happened 3 times and today it's started again. When googling TMJ came up. I don't know anything about it, but my jaw does click but I haven't had any pain. Could it be possible my braces ...

So I learned a lesson tonight. Don't eat Singapore noodles! First time ever making them, didn't think anything of it until I went to brush my teeth. Fluro yellow!!! Not pale ... Council worker Fluro yellow! Now to see if I can get these changed. I don't want to look like this for my bday! Other than...

Welcome
I've had braces for 1 week although it feels like much longer haha.

I had KFC the day I got my braces on too Haha. I couldn't eat solids for the next few days after though.

All of my teeth throbbed for the first 2 days. I'm on day 5 today and still can't bite with my front teeth... It feels weird and sore. Chewing with my molars is okay, only soft food though. I took pain relief for 2 days, I wasn't expecting that!
