Powerchains did not work. Double Powerchains did not work. Rubberbands did not work Double rubberbands did not work. Will Springs work? That is my question. I have two nagging gaps between each one of my canines and the incisors. I have had braces for a year and a half and these gaps still have not ...

In America we are supposed to have Big Houses, Big Cars, and nice teeth. It pretty much is a status symbol. Now a days breast implants and botox injections are becoming the norm for even teenagers. I live in Los Angeles and I encounter the super vein on a daily basis. WIth that being said, braces ar...

PrincessMelody It is cool tthat you have insurance. I worrk for the federal government and you would think that I would have a good dental plan. NOT! I pay everything out of pocket. I have popped 4 brackets alread and her eally doesn't care, which is good. Respect to the guy who has the super cheap ...

I hate to brag, but my treatment only cost $2200. I got hooked up by my Asian coworker with a Chinese doc that has super cheap prices. He practices in the Chinese community here in SoCal. Anyone live in the Los Angeles area can PM and I will give you his contact..

I am actually starting to see some good progress. My front gap has completely closed and the side gaps are slowly closing. Now the bottom gaps need some serious work. Hopefully I can have them all closed by june. THen they can work on my overbite. WHat is weird is that I have been having my adjustme...

I just want to say your teeth will look great after this journey is over. I have been braced since August and have seen a lot of improvements. By the time our treatment is over I should be able to do tooth paste commericials and so will you.

Here are my pics before my last adjustment.

THey might be able to help you for free, you might consider writing yuour congressman, I did it in the past and it helped a lot...

Thanks kiwi. I hate being the special case, but I guess I don't have a choice. My bad for having stong roots.

I had my third adjustment today. My doc noticed that my teeth have not moved much and he decided to "double up" mypower chaing. What he did was cut the strip twice as long, set the first half of chain on my teeth and then went backwards with the rest of the chain. I hope I am explaining th...

My friend who has pretty bad teeth went to get a consultation at a dental office. The recpetionist is very attractive and he asked her for her phone number. She was real eager to give it to him even with his bad teeth. I say go for it, she probably is real shy and wants you to make the first move. A...

Thanks guys. I am not to worried, but it just seems odd that my teeth are as sore now as they were after my first adjustment. Actually they are even more sore. i don't know. My problem is mostly gaps so it takes a lot longer to see much improvements in closing these gaps.

I had my first adjustmant on 09/06/2006. After that the first couple of days my teeth were very sore. Since then my teeth were feeling real good until the past couple of days. Now my teeth are as sore as they were during the first adjustmant. Is this normaL? I have my next adjustman on 10/02/2006.

I had my first adjustment today. I guess I will be having them once a month. I got a thicker archwire put on the top and dark blue powerchain on top. He left the bottom with the same wire though. I am really digging the blue powerchain. Silver is just plan boring. If I get a chance to post a pic I w...

Well I got to work today and decided to use my sissor (bad spelling!) to cut my finger nails. Using the left hand to cut the nails on the right hand was definitely a task, but I am rexthedestroyer and no task is too difficult. One problem is that fingernails were flying all over the place. I was onl...
