Peanuts - sometimes I bite them with the wire and it can potentially damage my wire.

You took a picture of yourself naked?

Well I always get clear for mine, never tried any other color. My dentist says, "Ha, typical boy! All boys choose clear."

I'm good, thanks

Recovery was smooth, no pain

I had my braces on and everything when they did it They commented on it "Wanna remove the wires and brackets?" "umm nah... If they fall out, they'll fall out.. we'll send them back his regular dentist. But these little contraptions are getting in my way" But yeah they didn't brea...

My dentist does everything, including my braces. They change the wires and they do deep cleaning

SO they don' need to get rid of the wires or anything i guess

Proof for others that you are doing something about your teeth.

"Ew, he has crooked teeth... better get them fixed. -5 respect"

Now it's like

"Oh, he has braces on. His teeth is a work in progress. OK, I can understand that."

Yes

I got like:

1. clindamycin antibitoics (i use this of course)
2. 600mg ibuprofen (i use this)
3. super tylenol for pain (i never used this)

So when can I start normal brushing?

Just got my wisdom teeth removed and I signed up to ask a question. Pretty scared about getting dry socket - I don't want to get it.

I usually get adjusted every 2 weeks.

Of course, sometimes they'll let me go for 3 weeks or even 1 month.

I do not mind since the adjustments take about 4 minutes and then I'm done.

With braces, it is harder to brush but I get deep cleanings at least twice a year to control the dirty.

I've been on websites and they say "Brush without toothpaste for 3-4 days and avoid the extraction sites by at least 1 tooth. Rinse with warm salt water on Day 2" I've had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed on THURSDAY 11 AM. It's about 2 days later on SATURDAY 11 AM. My gums are still swoll...
