oops posted twice.

im having ear problems also, i don't know if it relates to braces or not. i have tinnitus (for me a really high pitched humming in both ears/head) which i really can't remember when it started, but it's gotten worse in the last few months. i don't think i had this before braces but i am not positive...

hi, i've had my braces for about 11 months now. here are some pictures i took today to show where i'm currently at: http://www.kingofthebop.com/braces/8-28-05-22x.jpg http://www.kingofthebop.com/braces/8-28-05-33x.jpg http://www.kingofthebop.com/braces/8-28-05-37x.jpg http://www.kingofthebop.com/bra...

hi everyone ! i haven't posted in here in awhile but i thought i'd post an update today. first of all i just got back from an appointment today, and i decided to go with dark blue ligs this time ! first time i've gone with a darker color, i kinda like it for a change. http://www.kingofthebop.com/bra...

Why do you have to have your molars banded now? well, my 2nd molars (very back ones) were not braced at all when my braces were put on. i guess this is done sometimes in hopes that they will fall into place on their own. or for me it could have been because my wisdom teeth were not removed yet when...

Hey there, I have been using a sonicare for like six years or so and this what has helped me. Place the toothpaste on the brush and without starting it spread it around your teeth. Really it is very light brushing without turning brush on. After is it distributed, fire up the brush and go to work. ...

heres my new color ! i asked for lavender, but i think i got the regular purple... they seem darker than i thought. but i still like it. it matches my shirt today:) also got a spacer on each side between my lower back molars to band my 2nd molars which right now are not braced... i will have to wear...

yes i was thinking dark blue might be my next choice
and it would match my sweatshirt i wear everyday!hehe

thanks everyone for the comments i am glad they are looking straighter! i decided to be daring and go with a colored ligs today instead of the regular silver.. light blue! i always like how they look in photos on other people, but i'm not sure i like it on myself as much as the silver.. i think i wi...

update on my smile !! :) (my bottom lip is really chapped and got even more sore after getting some of the polish on it while they were cleaning my teeth at the dentist.. in case you're wondering why my lips are 2 different colors!!! it looks funny hehe) http://www.kingofthebop.com/braces/12-06-04.j...

Hi, How do you get your photos to appear directly in your post without having to have a link? I have not had my braces put on yet, but did a photoshop simulation of how I will look post braces that I thought y'all might enjoy . . . Kate you just have to use the IMG tag around your link , there shou...

yes very exciting ! my laterals are looking a lot better also.

by the way i can chew most foods again without hurting too much. :) i just noticed what a big difference there is in my profile today... 1 month after getting braces on. my teeth don't stick out!!!!!!!!!!! wow. except i kinda think my smile looks cuter pre-braces , but i am sure once my bite is bett...

day 13 in braces... i'm actually very comfortable wearing my braces now. i hardly notice they're in my mouth. still can't chew though. i had mac & cheese last night and was able to chew it (barely), but still sore. best i have been yet, though. so hopefully it will get better. i think i notice a...

i just bought a sonicare elite 7300 a few days ago, i like it a lot. my problem with it though is that i have a hard time keeping enough toothpaste on it to last ! it's like i have to reapply for each section of my mouth, cuz it just vibrates off, and the braces make it harder to spread the toothpas...
