I had mine out last month. I had 4 severely impacted wisdom teeth and was worried about the operation. Well, the day came, I was in hospital from 1pm-5pm then went home. My face was really swollen, I was on pain killers and it was heaps less than what I made it out to be. I can't believe I worried s...

Hi Gennel, Generally I go every 5-6 weeks. I just recently got elastics (I wear one on the right 24/7 and one on the left overnight) so my appointments have been every 4 weeks lately.

My bottom teeth are perfectly straight and there's only a tiny gap between my top left canine and the tooth to the right of it. I've had braces for 10 months and my teeth were baaaadly overcrowded top and bottom when I got them on. Come to think of it, my bottom teeth were all in line after about 6 ...

I don't have a motto per se, but for everyone going through tough times, try and think about the braces as a solution to more problems then just crooked teeth. For example, if you're a 20-something guy (like me), having straight teeth could mean: - You're more confident talking to people (especially...
