I just got an Interplak too, and I love it. I got this one , which is cordless and rechargable. I got it at Target for about $20. I also have to refill it a couple times to clean my whole mouth, but it's a minor inconvenience at most. I must have a different model than Samantha because mine stays on...

Hey everyone, I got my uppers on March 6 and I'll be getting my lowers by the end of the month. I've got Damon 3's on top, and the lowers will be Damon 2's.

The crowding on my uppers is noticable pretty much only to me. In fact the compliment I get most ofte...

Hello from northern Virginia

Hey everyone, I decided to take the plunge a few months ago, and just got my uppers on yesterday. I'm really eager to get the process going, since the sooner I get them on, the sooner they come off. I'll be getting my lower braces in two weeks. My ortho is putting Damon 3's on top and Damon 2's on t...
