It's only been 3 hours since getting my spacers / seperators and I'm not feeling too bad at all *touch wood* I can obviously tell something is wedged in between my teeth but I've drunk plenty of water and had two nurofen (pain relief / headache tablets) to cope and I'm going to top those up shortly....

Hi Michael, have just finished reading all 4 pages of your braces journey, it's made me feel slightly better about my own journey that's set to start in around a week's time! You almost make it sound fun to have braces (let's hope) look forward to reading more updates from you

Oops double post

Only 14 days to go until I get my spacers and in the last few days I've been going through a mixture of emotions, being scared and wanting to back out of the whole thing (again), but I'm determined to go through with it and have wonderful teeth at the end of it all. So just wondering the whole space...

I've updated my ticker (see below) and as you can see I'm booked in for my spacers and braces! I know March seems like forever away, but I don't want to have them on over Christmas (even though they'll be on for next Christmas) I think I just want to have some fun without having to worry about other...

Well as you can see from my banner in my signature, I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday,.. and I feel great!!! which is really quite surprising, I thought I'd be the size of a pumpkin with black and blue eyes, but my face is only a little puffy and some tiny blackness under my eyes. There is hardly ...

Yep time sure does fly. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement :) I'm really starting to get those shaky nerves, but I'm going to go through with it, I haven't waited this long for nothing. And after speaking with my boyfriend we're going to start our travelling in around August of 2008 so ...

It's been quite a while since my last update on this thing, but here I am again with less than a month to go till my big operation (25 days to be exact) I'm quietly getting very nervous about the whole operation and at some stages was doubting why I was getting all this done. I now won't get my brac...

Hiya belmikry, Sorry to hear your recent progress has been sloppy, I hope thing improve for you. My case looks similar to yours and I can't wait to get my braces journey underway, still waiting for the pesky wisdom teeth to come out (see signature below) - You've been an inspiration and your photo's...

Wow Juf, that progress is amazing!! I'm so happy for you, may your journey be much the same as it is now (painless and stress free) look forward to more updates soon

thanks for the reminder! changed now!

Okay, after a stressful evening speaking with my partner and racking my brain on what to do, and after a restless nights sleep I finally came up with what I should do. I'm going to wait until November to get my Wisdom Teeth out, my annivesray date for my health fund is up on the 17th November, and I...

Hi Linda, THANK YOU SO MUCH! for that lengthy reply! I'm still yet to weigh up what to do, I'm leaning towards getting the IV done, but I'm really scared of the pain and just knowing I would be knocked out completely eases my mind a little (if i went the GA way) The expenses are quite dear, dont' ge...

OKAY!!!! Have been to the Oral Surgeon! it was very scary! and my fears were worsened when the Dr said I needed: All 4 wisdom teeth taken out.. I was really kinda expecting him to say that but was praying for otherwise! So I have the choice of IV Sedation or General Anasethetic (sp?). I really am un...

Okay, just been in for my two fillings, it seems like things are going so slowly, but before I know it I'll be in braces ;) The fillings were painless, much like the 3 I had last Thursday, just a big fat numb lip :) OS appointment tomorrow at 1.30pm, this is the one I'm dreading! my wisdom aren't gi...
