Gracias Dena por tus comentarios! One of the things I use to think is "why these brackets that are not seen by the people hurt so much? On the other way I wan't to be the focus of the people, so that's why I decided to put the ceramic ones. I'm very proud of my decission, they are practicaly un...

I'm the only one in my country, Spain. Hope soon will be more

Regards!

Same as me jezz, but I was placed both upper and lower brackets the same day as the bands.
Put some wax in your molar bands but don't put so much... I did it and my lips seem "inflated" from the outside and I spent hours leaving them out when brushing
Happy Christmas!

Thanks lucyloop! Definetively the braces hurts, now I'm having extra dosis of pain, I don't now where the hell to place the tongue, and... I don't see the day i will come to chew meat again! Also, for two times I have brushed the teeth two elastics have tried to go out of the bracket... so I have to...

Appointment with the ortho to place the brackets... Don't get wrong, it does disturb! First of all acid doesn't smell very well (of course is acid not coca-cola :D ) Also you have to have the mouth open for much time... not breathing well and don't speaking... Finally I choose the ceramic ones. They...

many thanks from all of you. I'll post my impressions after braces in a new post!

Obsesed with my teeth! One week in spacers and tomorrow, from here to 18 hours, upper and lower braces on it!. I can't count the hours I have spent in the mirror looking my teeth. At certain moments, they seem "ok not as worrying, why to put brackets? and other moments I thought "damn! thi...

Segovia, nice city! I hope you liked Spain.

I live in Valencia (at the east coast of spain), where the america's cup will be in 2008
cheers

Hello Dena Same as you, I have the spacers in since last thursday to the next thursday (22nd). At the early hours they only disturbed a bit, but the next days have been increasingly in pain. Also same as you I'm financing the treatment, and the bank asked me for a signature of my father. For the fir...

thanks for your replies. Ortho said there were no problem if the spacers came out, and highlighted it. Next appointment is on thursday, they were supposed to put me in the brackets... the day after christmas dinner... :( So the feeling of disconform is going on thrusday... thats ok as long as bracke...

nice post Jesslzz 01 ! I carefully choose the people to tell them I'm going to take braces. I'm very sensible at this moment, no one would imagine how much this appointment of being braced, not because of the people but because of my feelings and old fears is affecting me ( when I was a child I used...

Hello everybody! Since thursday being in this bands and still can't eat bred or meat... How this nice colored bands can make the teeth hurt so much? Also I have found that the teeth has moved, molars impact each other in other points rather than before.... this is the teeth that some people thinks i...

-same as many of you, I feel a complex of guilty because of having braces at 25. My parents simply never care if my teeth was aligned or not (it seemed but it was not, as has been revealed now) but they are older (in fact, my parents are really my grandparents, they do adopted me at age 2) and they ...

end of the first 24 hours on spacers. Definitively they hurt! Two spacers from one molar have decided to go out (the ortho said that was predictable and doesn't matter). The others are doing his work, by the way that means making pressure and discomfort, specially when eating (not so hard foods hurt...
