Not much to report back on, I had my 3 fillings for my bottom molars yesterday. The dentist was so gentle, he always is, so it made it even easier to get them done and he did them so quickly! I thought I'd be there for well over an hour but walked out in around 40 minutes! And the numbing needle was...

Your progress is amzing in just 5 days Juf!! well done! I've still got a ways to go till I even get spacers! but you've been inspiration about getting them even moreso Your teeth look great and hopefully you can get them off sooner rather than later good work can't wait to see more progress

Hi Juf,

Wow your braces look fab! (if you can say that about braces at all and I'm glad to hear it wasn't too painful getting them on! Keep us informed on your progress.. Look forward to hearing the next installment

wow Juf I'm so excited for you! I've had a few delays in getting my braces happening, need some fillings and my wisdeom teeth extracted, but hopefully soon enough my own journey will be underway

Look foward to seeing your pics and your story of the big day! take care, hope it all goes well

Hi Stace, Your story is very muchn similar to mine, I have to go and get 5 fillings in the next 1 1/2 weeks, I also have to see an Oral Surgeon because my general dentist thinks my bottom wisdom teeth should come out, then not long after I see the OS I have to go get spacers in (all depending on wha...

That's a bit of relief to me... thanks! :) I've just been discussing my decisions with my partner and trying to work out what is going to work best, I'm going to get the fillings done (kinda have to do that one even if I hate the drill) and I'm going to go to the consult with the OS and I'm going to...

Hi linda, thanks for the reply, yes it is quite expensive, I'm going to go and see the Oral Surgeon on the 5th July and I'm going to ask him how hard it will be with braces on etc? if he says it's not too difficult and I can wait till November then by all means I'll do it, anythning to save some mon...

More Updates: Okay so I went to see my general dentist in the city today and he checked my mouth and did some x-rays, he said i need to get 5 filings (ouchhhhhhh) but some are small, I think there's only 1 big filling to do! so I'm a little concerned about that, he did a scale and clean (not cheap e...

... and guess which lucky Kiwi got one as a gift ... it's totally fantastic ... and I now wonder how I survived without it! :oops: Okay I just have to ask.... how did you get one shipped over from the UK? I'm guessing you have friends over there that shipped one over to you, am extremely jealous! d...

Hi Juf, Thanks so much for commenting on my braces log, it seems we're getting all our treatment around the same time (I think I'm about 2 weeks or so behind you as far as spacers and braces go) so we will "virtually" be holding hands going through our processes :) I hope your spacers aren...

Thanks heaps JennThompson79 (we share the same last name, except mine is without a "p") Okay small-ish update: Over the last few days I've come down with a bit of a cold, sore throat, bit blocked up, so hopefully that passes soon. I have an appointment with my regular dentist to check thin...

No problems sjsarre, I didn't take offence to your comments I'm slowly learning as I make my journey onwards and upwards

Hi guys, and thanks for replying. Sorry about the explanation of terms, i'm only new to this game and am getting my teeth mixed up! :) and yes it's just pushed behind my front tooth and my canine? (I hope I got it right this time) hahaha I'm going to take some pics of my normal smile in the next wee...
