I have seven bands on my molars and one bracket. The only reason I have a bracket on one molar is because they couldn't find a band to fit it; one was too small and the other too big. I started out with four bands, but he added the others when my very back molars were not moving with the others. The...

teeth are straight but my bite is off
My teeth are straight but my bite is off. The left side of my back teeth touch, but the right side of my back teeth don't touch. Also my front teeth hit each other when I bite down. My front teeth are not supposed to touch when I bite down are they? Also the ortho is going to start slenderizing my f...

On my last adjustment 2 days ago I picked glow in the dark pink and purple. They are pretty creepy when all you see in the dark is glowing teeth. My daughter thought they looked pretty creepy. They are real light in color and I think they make my teeth look whiter :D They are my favorite color so far.

I have had my bottom braces on for about 2 1/2 weeks and they had stopped aching. Then they started aching again a couple of days ago now I can hardly bite anything again. I have noticed some of them have moved since they started aching again. At least when our teeth are aching we know the braces ar...

I consulted with 2 different orthos and the first one I went to said I would need to have 8 teeth pulled, all 4 wisdom teeth and four others to make room. The one I am currently using is more conservative and said he wouldn't need to pull any at all. Some orthos are just more conservative than other...

I love my coffee too and I don't think I could give it up. Like Mookyyzed said about using whitening tooth paste, I use Mentadent whitening toothpaste and I don't have a problem with stains; from coffee anyway. The only thing I have found to stain my ligs was mustard. I started out with pretty blue ...

How many spit now when you are talking since having braces!?
I have noticed since having my braces on that I spit when I talk, which is quite embarrassing. I have to excuse myself and tell them that I do it because of the braces. Maybe I should keep disposible cloths with me to hand out when I talk. You think?! I also have a hard time pronouncing my words, es...

Great!! I was hoping it wouldn't be any worse than the top. At least I have been warned and I will be prepared with plenty of ibuprofen and wax. It is great having so much support from everyone here. Thanks so much, it makes it alot easier when you know there are so many people that know what you ar...

My 12 year old daughter and I, 36 years old, are doing it together too. She got her braces put on 4 months before me, but she has to wear hers for 2 1/2 years and I only will wear mine for 2 years. So they will come off months within each other. We are also getting our bottom brackets put together o...
