Gennel that sounds painful. I am getting an expander for my upper arch and I hope I will not have to experience this. I was telling my hubby that it seems like every visit to the denist is painful. Good luck with the movement.

Congratulations:) Keep posting now!!!

Good luck on tomorrow. I am sure you will be fine. It is normal to have mix feelings when we make a change to our body. I am anxiously awaiting my turn next week. I can not stop looking at the calendar. I am excited and nervous. Hang in there. I am excited for you .

Thanks Emerald, My teeth and gums feel weird since getting my wisdom teeth out. I have some numbness and one of the extraction site is very irratable. Especially when food gets dislodge in it.

Thanks KK, I called my Ortho's office yesterday and was told not to buy anything. His assistant said they will be providing me with everything that I will need. So, I am not going to buy anything as of yet. I hope he also provide me with a palate cleaner gadget or I will buy one from this site. Than...

Thanks Kim,

I hope this is not a silly question. When you got braced did your Ortho provide you with a dental kit or did he/she tell you what you would need to buy? I am trying to figure out if I need to purchase a dental kit and if so what will I need. I do not want buy items unless it is a must. Thanks in adv...

Hello,

I just wanted to tell you that I can see a difference and looks like things are moving all fast for you. Good luck.

Thanks Boom,
