Hi Bebeger, Congratulations for getting braced! I can totally relate to that 'first few days' pain but it will go soon. Honestly. I took pain killers regularly and the pain was nearly gone in a couple of days :D I've not had that pain since. My line of thinking was that at least it's showing somethi...

WOW Seriously, your teeth look amazing. What a fantastic transformation!!!!

This stuff is fab. Nuxe Reve de Miel Honey Lip Balm .52 oz

Its definitely more of a nourishing treatment for really dry lips rather than just a petroleum based product, which I don't find that great in my opinion.
I find when my lips are really, really dry I need something heavy duty!!

WOW - Fab result!!

I've sent you a pm.

I had this comment a few times, especially from closer friends surprisingly! (some of my friends are v.honest and blunt :lol: ) But it didn't offend me, I was just completely shocked that they didn't notice how bad my teeth were. I guess it confirmed to me that we notice our own teeth way more than ...

This happened to me last week. I called the ortho and made an appointment to go in the next day and they sorted it out really quickly. The pain was gone in about an hour.
There's no need to suffer! Ring your ortho tomorrow if it's still hurting.

Thanks jmrut22. Yes that does make sense, at least that shows that extractions don't always have a negative affect, profile-wise. Cheers!

Would having teeth extracted affect someones profile negatively? I am a bit worried that as I already have a "weak chin" according to my ortho, that the 2 extractions I had on my bottom set of teeth might make my profile even worse because my bottom teeth now are more or less straight (ish...

Great progress! You must be really pleased!

Yeah I agree, I think it depends on your specific treatment plan.

I had my consultation and x-rays etc at the ortho, then to my dentist a couple of weeks later to have extractions and a few weeks later went and had the brace fitted.

Good luck with your consultation tomorrow!

Wow, this must so frustrating for you. It's definitely unacceptable and, more to the point, unprofessional! What a lame excuse - to say 'nobody else seems to mind??' I can see why you would want to move to a different ortho, but I would try one last time to explain how unhappy you are. Maybe you cou...

I had/have this problem too. Its getting a bit better now but at first all I could do was cut soft-ish food up really small and just swallow.... but be careful though! I know chewing is good to improve the blood flow, but sometimes is impossible!! Hope you get on ok

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! !

Hope you have a great day
