FREE AT LAST!! (pics)

Yay! They are finally off! I read a bunch of your posts yesterday so I knew what to expect, but I was really scared when my ortho was popping off my brackets because I thought my teeth would crack. One of my ceramics actually shattered! Although he polished my teeth, they still feel rough, but my re...

Hey Sandista, I feel your excitement! Mine are coming off April 21. Can't wait! I'm getting a Hawley, and I think it takes a week for it to come in. I'm a bit worried that I'm going to get a space in the front like when my ortho took my power chain off a couple of months ago. Can any of you "pr...

OK, I just wanted to update you all on my implant surgery. It truly wasn't that bad! The worst part was imagining what was going on in my mouth. I got loaded up on Novacaine and took a giant Motrin, and I didn't feel a thing. I was lucky; my doctor said I was a perfect candidate for the surgery. The...

I'm actually going tomorrow morning to have my post put in. I had my #3 molar extracted about 15 months ago, right after my braces were put on. I had 2 root canals done on the tooth, but apparently there was a fracture, and I could not get a permanent crown because I had chronic pain. My periodontis...

Sally, I never had an appliance but the first 4 - 6 weeks after I had my braces put on, I couldn't chew either because my teeth weren't meeting; the lower brackets hit my top teeth. I understand how you feel getting bored with the foods you are eating and feeling hungry all the time. I had a lot of ...
