I really wish I would have read this post before going to someone who does orthodontics as opposed to an orthodontist. I'm bailing out of my current provider and have to seek out a new one.

I've been braced for 13 months and just started having cold sensitivity in my right front tooth. If it persists I'll have it checked out.

Hello! As the title says, I'm 33 and this my second time getting braces. I had braces at 12 years old but was lazy about wearing my retainer and my teeth migrated back to their original places. The Essix retainer (then just introduced) smelled horrible, making it difficult to wear. I was also advise...

I use a type of floss called Glide along with Bridge Aid floss threaders. The stuff is so slick it's sometimes difficult to grip it with your fingers, but it moves easily through the tightest of spaces so I recommend it. (Pre-braces I used unwaxed floss.)
