What side of the city are you interested in? Are you willing to travel to the south suburbs?

I haven't had any embarrassing moments yet, but I feel for you! That must have been terrible! Sounds like one of those Southwest commercials (wanna get away??)!

I think your teeth look great. You really have a nice smile.

Flossing is definitely NOT one of my favorites, but OH SO IMPORTANT. My husband criticizes me for spending so much time in the bathroom at night but I can't help it! I don't care if it's 1:00 in the morning..I'm still gonna floss, no matter how hard it may be!

The 28th isn't too far off but it does seem like this should be an emergency appt. Did you tell the ortho when you broke the bracket? Seemed you perplexed over the situation for a while..seems like you should get in sooner.

Question. How do you know people are actually talking about you behind your back? Are these your "friends", or strangers? If they're your friends, they're not really friends. I wonder if your poor self-image comes from what others think about you or what you truly believe to be so. Do YOU ...

I too have been having problems flossing the rear top molars. It's hard getting the proper angle to get the floss in (I use SuperFloss). I am VERY determined to not miss a night of flossing, so I try and try again, often getting so frustrated I'm almost in tears. The first night I got my tops on I t...

I can understand feeling self-conscious. Ever since I got my top braces put on last week I've pretty much felt ugly. I notice I tend to hide my teeth sometimes. But in time I'm sure that gap will start closing and you'll starte feeling much better about things! This is just an adjusting period..you'...

Welcome!

Sorry, don't know of any ELECTRICS. As a matter of fact, I don't even like the SpinBrush. It feels really weird; don't like the massive vibration. As far as manuals go, I like the Oral B Advantage Plus, I think it's called. But, I must say, I tend to run through about 1 brush a month. I suppose that...

Where are the pictures? I'm anxious to see them!

It's definitely not plaque. The film was not there prior to getting the braces on yesterday. And it so happens the tech that was working on me told me I had awesome teeth! She said they were so white and clean! Now they look filmy! I don't like that at all!!! I really feel like the Ugly Duckling rig...

I just got my top braces (metal) on today. My teeth look as if there is a film on them..they look dull, not shiny like before. The bottom teeth (braced since February) don't look likethat. What is this and will it go away? I called the ortho and left a message as the office was closed.
