So, I am 7 weeks post op from MMA, and my teeth are killing me. It feels similar to biting into something cold with sensitive teeth. But I get this feeling if anything touches my teeth or lips. Is this just the nerves healing or something more? It is incredibly painful. Leading onto my next quety, I...

Went to the ortho today, and I'm getting the braces off on the 15th! Ugh, I'm so excited. I will get retainers, so no worries there.

I had braces a while back, so my teeth were relatively straight. I did however have an overbite and my front teeth flared a bit. I was in braces for about 10 months before my surgery. This would have been shorter, but we were closing spaces from extracting 4 bicuspids. (The first time in braces was ...

Dang, I paid 13k. Realizing I overpaid, haha.

Here are photos of my teeth before and now. Do you think I should keep them on? I am conflicted. If I take them off it will be too expensive to get them put back on, so they will be off permanently.

For reference, here are my teeth before braces, after I got them off the first time, and now. My chipped tooth happened during surgery, sadly.

The first 5 years were actually a different ortho. He was old and actually died right after I finished. He was going senile, so he didn't give me a retainer, left an overbite, etc. Then I moved, and started with this new ortho. I will definitely wear a retainer if I get one! I don't want to chance a...

Hi there, So I am wondering if I should remove my braces against ortho wishes or not. Basically I had braces for 5 years and then had them off for 1 year. I didn't have a retainer, so my over jet came back a bit. Then I got braces on again as prep for MMA surgery. I got them on the second time in Se...

I was 11. I am 19 now.

Hey guys, so I thought I'd post 3 week photos, as most of my bruising and swelling is gone. What do you think? I feel like I might have looked better before, although I'm not sure yet.

I know its a bit soon for you, but have you regained feeling in your lips and chin? Also did you have an open bite as well? I am starting to regain feeling, although right now it is mostly just the itching and tingling. Only a very small part of my chin and half my lower lip are numb. I did not hav...
