ya my bottom are braced as well.. but im guessing is not going to move as fast as the top since the bottom alway tends to move slower then the top.

hey thisismethen, any news yet from the Orth??

what kind of problems he said if you remove your brace earlier???

will your teeth be unstable and move around??


because there might be chances that I might have to remove my brace earlier as well.. probably not as ealier as you.

I know this should be a question for my orth, but again he is currently busy and have no time to take phone calls. But I want to see if anyone have experienced this before. To give you some background, I have 2 pre-molar extracted so I can pull the 4 fronts teeth backward. My orth is using my last 2...

ok what i really dont understand is.. WHY did your teeth move even you wore your retainer 7/24?? can you ask your orth??

also and most importantly how can we prevent this???

please advise us all

doh.. so your lips actually dose get bigger?.. thats too bad coz my lip was already to big to begin with=(

wow spring and 4 elastic??? i only have elastic to close my gap!! maybe I should ask my orth to use both to close the gap faster.. u think thats a good idea??

but did your lip thickness decrease after your treatment??? compare before you got brace?????

did your lip thickness increase after your brace treatment? or along your treatment??

Ok here is the question.. does smoking actually slow down your treatment time or is just another one of those myth that people want to think so u can quit smoking???
I know smoking is bad.. and I'm trying really hard to quit

is there any scientific proves to this, if its true?

Hi Trigger,
I saw your stats on the stats post and u said u estimated 8-9 months with 4 extractions. Just curious as to why your treatment time is so short even with 4 extractions..

for me.. I will have 4 extractions and estimated time was 2 years!

cool KK! free to deband/reband and free cerm bracket! you must have a very nice orth!

is Self-ligating brackets really faster then tradtional brace??? I'm hearing mix message. Some said it just reduce the number of time to see the orth but it dosen't really effect the overall treatment time... but some said it dose??

i but heard some peolpe can do it for free.. since they only things the orth need to do is just switch the front 4 bracket...

did it costs u any $ to switch from traditional to ceramic during your treatment???

Is it true that sometime teeth will move EVEN if we wear our retainer 24/7??????

if so, how can we prevent this ???
