Hello everybody! I went to the ortho this morning and he finally removed the brackets on my top teeth!! (I had Damon 3 brackets on most of my teeth in order to expand my arch) I thought it was going to be a painful process, but it wasn't woohooo! It's awesome to finally feel my teeth soo smooth (eve...

Thanks for your message :) I hope things will go fine with your doors. If it can reassure you, I did not have much problems at the beginning of my treatment..I think with time tartar gets in the little doors which makes them hard to open. Maybe you should take extra care in brushing around and under...

Hello everybody I wrote a post a couple of days ago telling you about my last appoitment when they had to change one of my brackets because the stupid door would not open... I had another appointment today and I was hoping everything would go smoothly...Instead, this time, 3 of those stupid doors wo...

Great progress!! Your teeth look like mine at the beginning and I would like to know the type of braces you have on...they are not Damon 3s, right? Do you have an expander or something? Just curious!

Hello everybody! Ok, here is my story. I've had Damon 3s for 1 year and 2 months now, in order to expand my upper arch. The estimated treatment time was 1 year/ 1 year and a half...so I'm getting there! :D Things worked fine, although I wish my upper arch would expand a little bit more :? , so here ...

Hello everybody!
Thanks your comments, I appreciate them a lot
You are right, I forgot to mention that the first four brackets on my upper teeth are not Damon 3..but the rest of my upper teeth do have Damon 3, which is why my arch expended!

Hello everybody! It's been a while since I came here! :wink: I've had my braces (Damon 3s) for 10 and a half months now (about 6 more months to go!) and I decided to come post pictures so that people who consider having Damon 3s see the amazing work they do! :lol: The goal was to make my upper arch ...

Hello everybody! Here is an update...I've had my damon 3's for 2 months and a half now..I can see things moving...slowly! :lol: First day with braces October 31st http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/littlemelli/braces2.jpg One month with braces http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c388/littlemelli/1...

hello hannan and jenn. I notice that my bottow teeth somewhat straightened out but also that my upper arch is somewhat a little larger (like the 2 teeth next the incisors (the big front one there!) seemed to have moved a little :) ). Hannah, I believe the picture makes it look that my teeth weren't ...

Hey guys!
Thanks a lot Kiwi for cheering me up! I appreciate it

Hello everybody! OK I've had my braces for a month now..getting used to it...eating almost normally again. I can see a little bit of change, which is encouraging :lol: . Most of the time they don't bother me, but I have to say that I really don't feel attractive with that mouth :? !! Wondering if it...

Thank you soo much! I am in even more pain today..so I take pills every 4 hours...I was wondering how things are going with the new system on your bottom arch? I read in the forum that you have been having trouble with tatar..what a pain! I was also wondering if you noticed a change in your bone str...

I sooo agree with you!!
I don't understand why last night my cheeks were fine and this morning, they're sooo tear up..maybe I've been speaking during the night? Who knows!!

Hello everybody! I finally have my Damon 3's! I hated the whole process.. :roll: I thought that the idea of having the brackets on a kind of plastic tray made from my prints in order to tranfer them all at the same time on my teeth instead of having the brackets put in one by one was a good idea...o...

Hello everybody! I can't tell you how much it helped me to read your stories... I finally made up my mind and as of tomorrow morning, I'll be braced too :pinkbraces: I am a 23 yrs old college student from Canada...and I'm a little worried to be mistaken for a 17 yrs old kid during my next practicuu...
