Yeah, it is pretty much about having a good technique, you will learn that quickly, I did!. I love eating sandwiches, but sometimes (depending on the sandwich and the present company) it is better to eat that in private. But cutting a sandwich or a hamburguer in small pieces makes it possible for us...

Wow KK, 7 1/2 months with the same archwire! And I'm complaining! You are right, every person and teeth are different so we don't have any other choice but to trust our orthos. Maybe I'm an anxious person, but if I were you, I would be crying for a new archwire! :lol: No, really, I believe you are s...

Thanks Holly don't spend! (I love your nickname!!) Well, my lowers got better really soon and I have been very busy to come here and update my journal. I have been moving to my new apartment so I had a lot of things to do...and I don't have internet connection there yet so visiting the archwired for...

Hi! Well, I'm from Argentina, and I can tell that having braces as an adult is not yet "a fashion trend" over here, but is getting more and more popular nowadays. As you said, akabraces: in central and south america, they are actually using real braces... they never really had access to or...

Thank you very much!

That was the kind of info I was in need of. Now I know what to do, and I'm prepared to review those "fees" with my ortho. Thanks again!

Yes, my brother teased me a lot about my braces even before I had them on. Then he told me later that he had a hidden tooth behind another one!!! I have never noticed that! Of course he should wear braces too, or perhaps having an extraction. And he was laughing at my gaps! I love him a lot, though....

Oh my God! I just realized I eat with my mouth open too many, many, times!!! :lol: and then depending on who I am with I just reach right in with my index figner and get the stuff that's stuck up there in those back molars brackets! That is exactly what I do. Besides some involuntary but lovely pigg...

Nevermind the jokes, Super soo . People do all kind of stupid jokes about braces, I know that. Some are mean, some are not. You know why are you doing this, and that is what really matters. You will always find some coworkers, friends, even some members of your family who make jokes about braces. Ma...

Welcome wen! I'm a spitter too, but not that much. What is really annoying is the amount of saliva in my mouth! As Leslie022 said, I have a courtain of saliva bubbles all around my braces everytime I smile! :oops: And if I don't suction it and swallow it fast enough, that mean saliva finds a way to ...

I have been searching for a post about this subject, because I'm moving soon too. I will then have to make a 2 hours trip to visit my ortho. I'm worried about having an emergency, and having to wait too much. It would be really ironic because there is an ortho office just around the corner of the pl...

Congratulations Drazda!!!

I think you have gorgeous teeth! And only in three months!!! Great progress, I would love to have teeth like yours too (I hate my fillings)

Is your ortho happy with your progress? I bet he is!
Thanks for sharing your pics!

How great Gracie! Congratulations!!!

Your teeth are looking really good! I like the color of your powerchains too! 4 months with a lot of progress, amazing.

By the way, I'm viewing the last pic at the same size as the others, and it looks ok.

Keep us posted of your great progress

I had THE dream! I never thought I would be dreaming one of those dental nightmares but...yes, I did! I dreamt that all my upper brackets broke at the same time! And that I was looking at the mirror and all the brackets were hanging from the archwire and I couldn't even speak... What an awful feelin...

Great ideas! mackenzie, I live in Argentina, and went to the south (Patagonia) for a few days. I'm guessing now that maybe all the teens around here don't dare to ask for colors...Over here doctors can be very intimidating and they usually don't give choices. I would love to see more people in color...

Thanks a lot for the info! I'm thrilled. I will definetely ask my ortho about it. Many people tell me that the uneven teeth aren't that noticeable too, but in the pic it surely shows, and I knowing that they are uneven I keep looking at the mirror! I'm so happy that they can fix this problem in this...
