Re: Six Month Smile

Also you're not the only person with a small mouth! Haha! They needed to use loads of Vaseline (lovely!) on my mouth to get the thing that holds your mouth open in and I needed the child's size plate thing to get moulds taken! :D

Re: Six Month Smile

Hi there, I recently had CFast braces (got them off almost 4 weeks ago) for just over 7 months. Your teeth look lovely in your picture! Mine were awful, so I needed quite a bit of movement to bring my 2 teeth between my front ones into alignment but I saw most of my movement between months 2-5 I thi...

Re: Food - what are you eating (or not)?

For the first few days I stuck to soft foods like potato and eggs because of the pain and i was afraid of knocking the brackets off (soon realised how sturdy they are!) but after a few weeks I was able to eat pretty much anything.

Re: What I'm looking forward to after my braces come off

Curry! I had white/invisible brackets and I am so looking forward to eating curry. The plan was to eat lots of curries for a bit after getting braces off, except I'm getting my teeth whitened in a few days after only having my braces off for a week so don't want to ruin that haha.

Re: New bonded retainer is so bulky!

Yes I'd go back and ask them to fix it. Especially if you've paid for it they should make sure you're happy with it.

Re: in what time frame did you see the biggest difference?

I only had mine on for 7 months and I think I found the biggest improvements earlier on, probably between months 2 and 4.

Re: Permanent Retainer

I have a bonded and removable one for my top teeth. I found my speech a bit funny for the first few hours after the bonded one was fitted. I didn't get my removable one for 48 hours after getting my braces off but I like having the 'double' sort of back up.

Re: Only a few more days!

Congratulations! I had mine off the other day and was so weird to be able to run my tongue along my teeth again!
