Wiredkitty - most of the decent movement in mine happened in the past two weeks....weeks 1 & 2 they movied a little but the past couple straightened them out nicely, definitely a good feeling!!! Already after adjustment they are on the move again and I've got the weeniest gap between those front...

Hmm always wanted straight teeth (so say 20 yrs or so based on when I really noticed they were somewhat diferent to everyone elses :oops: - hey I was a little slow off the mark in those areas!) but never wanted braces so never gave it any thought. Discovered wisdom teeth this january, had ortho appo...

If you ignore the rest of the industrial equipment in there, thesliver is quite nice!

Hi

Thanks for the replies. Bashed by the ortho and I wasn't even being too wimpy...well I was, but shhhhhh

Karen, will post to the ligs colour - thanks for suggestion. I remember wandering through it trying to find silver or pearl ones

So yesterday was adjustment 1...just as well coz those clear ligs were gone a lovely shade reminiscent of dirty old elastic bands on mail!! Was trying to be inconspicuous (hence the clear) then realised that with two bloody great springs in the front of ym gob I was far from inconspicuous lol so wen...

Hi Hippyhippo Hope it all went well :D It does feel a bit weird looking at them at first but you get used to it surprisingly quickly. My front teeth had the same little overlap as yours and you'll be amazed how quickly that disappears! I haven't had my first adjustment yet (only on week 6 now) and t...

Xrays etc to check out new wisdom teeth $100 Orth consult with moulds and photos etc $140 Extractions $2500 (but hey that was 4 premolars and 4 wisdom teeth - my mought was a tad crowded :lol: Trip to dentist for a good clean post extraction and pre braces $80 Then the good old ortho bill of $1300 t...

I started off being soo good and avoiding all the stainy stuff but man that was boring....after 4 weeks it was a case of 'wheres the red wine'!! Ligs are a bit stained but not too bad. Tried the hydrogen peroxide rinse idea and it seemed to work. Have just got a bottle of Listerine Pre Brush Whiteni...

Am not too bad here as am still too sore to chew on anything more adventurous than a banana (celery!!!!???????) - but have had some great fun with strawbery seeds hiding all over the brackets and pieces of onion from spag bol wrapping themselves around my molar bands yuk

Hi Michelle
Your teeth look absolutely gorgeous ..roll on the next two years and hope mine look that good!!

Got the glasses...got the braces..........anyone I know who sees that show and makes any sort of connection is gonna be sorry lol
Geez this is tough enough on the old ego without someone making a show actually called Ugly!!!!

Hi there, I've only been in them four weeks and I think if you see any of my previous posts, it wasn't an easy start..(either that or I'm a natural moaner...but we'll assume it was the teeth :oops: .....but it is definitely getting better. You do get used to them surprisingly quickly. It is hard at ...

Lovely image there - and I was so proud of managing to rip a samosa into bite size pieces...no utensils at hand....but I think you definitely win!!

Hi there, am in week 4 and can relate to your predicament as mine came with the blue goop too. I sort of stuck to pasta, omelettes, veggies steamed a little longer than normal, oatmeal, yoghurt etc. Was never a dairy person before but had to give on that one as its important to get all the right goo...

Grew up in Irealnd so it wasn't a money issue - apparently it would have been free because my teeth were so bad (they tell me this nOW?). Had strange parents of the 'head in sand' variety.....no matter what was wrong with you they wouldn't believe you (although they had to have been blind if they co...
