No, I don't know. I meant to ask but with everything going on I forgot. I want to know as well so I will try to remember at my 1st adjustment appointment. That is in 6 weeks.

Flossing is easier than you think, it just takes some extra effort to squeeze the stuff in there. I got through the flossing last night. The top was okay but the bottom is near impossible. It's always been hard to do and with the braces, wires, and springs it's really, really hard. Just now I just ...

I finally have some time to post about getting my braces today. It really went quickly and I'm happy to say that so far they don't feel quite as bad as I thought they would. It's definitely strange having all this stuff in your mouth but I expected worse. The entire bracing took less than an hour. F...

Hooray! I'm glad that you are so happy and that it wasn't as bad as you thought. They look great in the picture. I like the blue.

I had a good experience too. I will post about it in a separate thread and include pictures later when I have more time.

Best of luck to you Michal!

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that she is unhappy. It's so hard when you want to fix everything for your children so they will be happy and you can't. I hope she feels better about it quickly.

Oh no, I'm glad that they were able to get them stable.

That is wonderful.

Good luck! I'm sure everything will go great. I'd love to hear how it went when you get back.

I'm glad to hear that things aren't too painful so far. I hope it stays that way for you.
