thanks everyone, it went quite well.

thanks especially to lionfish, i wouldnt have found my ortho if it wasnt for you, cheers !

fair dinkum these things arent that bad i could cope with this i reckon, just feels like a massive jagged mouthguard bolted in. i'll post some pictures of the mongrels soon

Do I take the wax off the brackets before i eat/drink?

i'm planning on drinking a milkshake.

Getting braces put on TODAY!

very excited/scared.

any tips on what to expect and how to make it less painful ?

I got my 1st powerchain yesterday on my lowers-Its aqua

by the way,

i kept the tooth


and i tried to snap it in half with my hands but it just wouldnt break!

thanks everyone for your support that really helped.

i only had 1 out, he said he'll do them 1 at a time. i think he sensed i was a bit tentative.

it was pretty painless but wouldnt stop bleeding! oh well.


anyway thanks again everyone.

i've posted about this before

i'm a bit scared about the pain and the whole experience.

last time i got a tooth pulled i cried, but i was 8, so that's all ive been thinking about.

i dont know if i should drive home afterwards or not.

any help would be sensational.

yeah hahaha i liked the first one better!
