Re: Damon Clears - Overbite, narrow arches, crowdedness
It has become better, but it's probably because I've worn them down a little lol.atrixa wrote:Wow, those molar build ups are brutal! Have you gotten used to them or are they still a nightmare?

I guess they don't want you to get too comfortable in these. :lol: Not a huge difference, but that first wire was pretty dainty. Don't notice a ...

Re: My Innovation journey, age 25
Yeah, the incisors are still too sore for me to bite into anything (even soft foods), and I'm 2 weeks in.
The ortho said they will see the most progress initially so it makes sense. I haven't noticed a difference in my teeth, yet.

Re: Afraid I'll become an adult with braces...
The truth is: no one cares. Really.
It's not like how it was 20+ years ago in terms of the types of braces available, treatment options, and the general number of adults walking around with braces on.
In fact, most people say supportive things if anything at all.
Congrats on almost being done!

Re: My first week in the "orthodontic club"!!
I'm on day 4 now and finally don't feel the need to take Advils anymore, lol. Defintely thought it's how it was going to be forever for a minute there.
Congrats on getting braced!
