Well, I guess it's worth an update. I was laughing too early... :roll: It's been a week since the spacers were put in. but three days ago, one of them fell out. I was chewing on some cookies. It somehow worked its way out. :shock: Then yesterday, I was chewing on some vegetable. I guess I chewed too...

So I had a chat to my ortho today on the topic of crowns. We have seen here on ArchWired just once (or has it been twice?) that someone has actually had a crown come off when a band was removed (The one I remember was Attagirl: http://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=14366&postdays=0&am...

Thank you for your support and suggestions, guys/gals. :D It's always good to know someone is there for you... Note I'm six months into braces already. :D It's just that so far it's been uppers only. So I really look forward to the bottom ones. +\+ Regarding the spacers. It's the end of Day two now....

They finally put the the spacers in for the lower crowns. When the assistant was trying to put one in for the crown on the right side, she pulled it so hard that my crown fell out!!! :soremouth: :yikes: :Questions: I was so shocked! But they managed to glue it back on and waited a little while and e...

I'm supposed to get spacers in three weeks. They are for the two crowns on my bottom molars. The plan is to put the spacers in for one week, then put the molar bands in before they can bracket the lowers. My question: I was told that along the road, several of my teeth (including the molars) will ne...

hug... I was gonna open a new thread to cry over there, then I saw this one. Might as well cry with you... :-(( I came back from my adjustment appointment yesterday and my goodness it hurts!!! This is the harshest appointment I've ever had! :-(( The ortho didn't put the lowers on because she said my...

Fantastic!

jma295psu, let me give you a big hug!

When my ortho made a big loop in my wire, it was pretty uncomfortable too. I had to turn to wax again (I thought my mouth were already tough enough after 4 months torture). This time I put wax all over and it looks funny. But oh well, what can we do?

Wow! Congratulations!!! No extraction---- that's just amazing. BTW, just curious, how long did it take?

Thanks guys. Especially Karen, you are always encouraging and giving comments to the specific case. It almost sounds like you could be an ortho assistant.

I'll keep you guys updated for any progress.

And good luck to all of you metal mouth friends.

And these loops in the wire are poking into my cheeks. :( So I have to put on some waxes. I haven't used wax for quite a while but it's definitely called upon this time. Oh I fogot another big news, next time they are going to put bracket on the sideturned tooth in my upper arch to start rotating it...

Just came back from my 5th adjustment. I had been looking forward to changes for a while but this time they came in all at once. :roll: First news is that my ortho decided to retire. :shock: I don't know if I should feel good or bad about it. The new ortho will start to work with my teeth from next ...

dawnm, it's normal. I was braced at 11am on my brace day. When I was having dinner that day, one of my upper incisors bit onto my lower teeth and it hurt me so much.

Guys/Gals, I have been super-busy these several days and when I finally slipped in to see my post, Wow, you guys are so nice. I really appreciate your support! And hope everyone make nice progress! :banana: Karen , you are always so nice. Thanks for your encouragement and suggestions. Now that every...

Denise, I'm innocent... It's the malicious ortho...

But I actually agree with your left side gene theory...
