AWESOME Micheal!!! This gives me hope!! I wonder if after I wear them and I'm told I can stop doing so if I'll still wear them to bed at night, just for the heck of it

Nah, it's probably not wise to go against the rules since they have it all planned out for us!!

Monrena is right. When I began the elastic process, it barely hurt the first few hours. Shortly thereafter I began feeling the pressure and then has problems with the elastics rubbing against my cheeks and causing them to chafe. The more you put them in and change them, the easier the process become...

Excellent progress Leslie. Wowza. The space is definitely decreasing.

Awesome! I just started wearing elastics about 1 and a half months ago I believe. Everyone told me that it would be horrible, etc etc I actually love it. It's my newest infatuation and my tongues playmate, especially when I get nervous :lol: What was it like wearing it for 7 months? Did you notice ...

Wow, perfection!!

You'll be passing the mirror several times a day with a big grin on your face, I guarantee it!!

Congrats!

This sounds very similar to my wisdom tooth ordeal. I had some complications, so my pain was very severe for about a week and a half, but thankfully yours went smoothly! Like you, I was very nauseous afterwards (I sat in front of the toilet too!), I bled pretty excessively those first 3 days and co...

And, you're quite a writer. All of that "blood 'n' smoothies" images are now floating through my mind.

lol, Thanks Betty.

....and it was a breeze. The extraction that it. The aftermath was brutal. Join me as I float back to last Friday: I had an 8 o'clock appt and was told not to eat for at least six hours before. Needless to say, I was starving by the time the extraction was complete! I went the Nitrous oxide (laughi...

Clear on clear.

Whenever I want to be naughty and eat curry or chili, I have it a day or two before getting my bands changed

Love the clear on clear though, ppl dont notice that I'm braced on top until they look clooooosely.

Braceyourself,

That last comment made me smile

For years I've had spacey teeth. I havent noticed that many people with them. Mine are like tiny little squares, chicklets of sorts :lol: Anyone here with braces to close their gaps? (I say gaps, not a single gap) I have mine to correct my overbite but I DO NOT want to get rid of the spaces, my ort...

I had my braces put on in September and I wont have my teeth extracted until next week. Let see, that'll make a full 5 months before actually getting an extraction AFTER having braces put on.

Lucy was right, everyone IS different.

Good luck to you my friend!

Congrats Snow!

Awesome step; glad it went smoothly.

Minging eh?? These youngsters and their everchanging slang!

Hi Harpua,

If you didnt go to an oral surgeon, where did you get it done? How did you find them?

Sorry to be negative about nitrous oxide but I had a most unpleasant experience with it, some years ago. I had rammed a huge flake of paint under my thumbnail and the hospital decided to remove it under nitrous oxide. I felt every move they made but was unable to make any sign that iIwas in agony a...
