CONGRATS!!!! Eat popcorn, nuts, apples, carrots..and all other food for us who still have braces! =)!

Thanks for sharing your pictures weird_wired!!! Wow, they made such a big difference. Your teeth are looking great!

For everyone else that had it done previously...is this a one time thing or do they repeat the procedure a couple of times?

I hope it didn't cause any damages! I'm not feeling anything weird, so I think I'm okay. I went home and checked my teeth, but I think creating the spaces helped align my teeth better. But when he said he was going to saw my teeth, I turned white. I guess he noticed because he was telling me how muc...

I went to get my braces adjustment Friday and I was taken by surprise when my othrodonist said he needed to saw my teeth?? (or something like that). The next thing you know..he comes over to me with a mini saw thing and saws some room between my teeth to create more space (my teeth are overcrowded o...

Hey bethne3,
Hang in there! At least you got all 4 of your wisdom teeth removed at once and you don't have to go back!

I hope you're feeling better!! Keep saying it'll be worth it in the end!

I didn't know you can get braces adjusted at a shorter time! Hey mackenzie, are your teeth still moving properly even though their getting adjusted in 4 weeks instead of 6? I'm thinking about asking my ortho about getting them adjusted for every 5 weeks instead of 6.

hey privatepilot, thanks for the advice. I think that'll definately ease some pressure off of me. I'll do that the next time I eat out. =)

Simba: he asked me how i got braclets on my teeth!

LOL, how cute!!

You can call just to double check?

This post rocks. LOL.
And aussierob's response made me LMAO.

hey ChloeAE, Don't be depressed. It's tough having braces now, but in 2 years It'll be worth it. Plus, it's better to do it now before you get a job, start dating, etc. Guys notice girls with great smiles! =) In two years, if you bump into someone from high school, you just flash them your amazing s...

naomi: Maybe I ate it? oh no! :shock: LOL. Did you ever find out if you did eat it? It's so funny, when I read that I went to my mirror and double checked if any of my brackets were missing. I missed coming to this message board! Being without a computer for a month sucks! But thanks everyone who r...

That's a relief. Thanks doc!

I was curious if anyone out there still has pearly whites with braces. I tried to keep my teeth white, by constantly brushing, flossing and using mouth wash..and that didn't work. I even stayed away from coffee, soda, etc. My friend, who had braces before I did said keeping your teeth white with bra...

People think I'm still in high school! =)

Plus, it'll be worth it when they come off.
