Hello again everyone, Can I ask you all a question about the canines? While I do think mine are coming down SOOOOO Slowely!! Did any of you notice that the teeth tend to receed back up into the palate after sleeping and resting? I find that in the evening and night after a full day I am saying wow t...

Hi jadeli, I dont think I will be much use to you as I havent had the same proceedure as you, I only had to contend with canine exposures! (still was a 2 hour proceedure), all I can say is that without a shadow of a doubt the anticipation and build up is definitely the worst part of the whole ordeal...

Hi Shawnie , I am in similar position to you. He will leave the babies to see if they will come down. From my appointment on Friday looks like they are moving! I nearly had a party to celebrate. I wont get braces on for another while though. Must come up with a name for them too! I saw you had 6 bab...

Hi Tazza,
Wishing you all the best for Tuesday - the worst bit will be the waiting as all the others have said already. Hope all goes well.

Hi there again, I'm now a bit more informed in my case. I went to the orhto on Friday with a list of questions! He wasnt expecting it I think, normally I just go in and out again, "thanks very much and see you next time", Not this time though.... Full of questions........ He is pleased wit...

Thanks Karen, I guess it is different for everyone. I will definitely be getting the braces as my teeth are quite crooked and I have overcrowding at the bottom. I am not sure of what my full treatment will be yet, I think they are sparing me from the details so as to not frighten me off. Am all gear...

Hope the surgery went well. Heres to a speedy recovery....

I mention this because: well in my case I had surgery 2 years ago (didnt work), had to have it done again 5 weeks ago. At my consultation with the ora...

Hi Finally, Thanks for letting me know your story. I am 30 now, they realised I had them about 5 years ago, I was then on a waiting list for a while, then had surgery 2 and half years ago, would have had it done again this time last year but i was getting married so i felt it would be better to dela...

Hi thanks for your replies, I found a lot of info on the site as you suggested. Its a long slow process eh!!! Needs a lot of patience! Lucyloop , I read your full story to date, I found it very helpful altogether. Many thanks... kk , I had a friend in our similar situation who had her exposure at th...

Hi there, I am new to the site, and I bring my impacted upper canines with me. I have had 2 operations so far to get this sorted. Firstly 2 years ago (didnt work), and again a month ago, they have now attached gold chains to the teeth to try to help them down if they need it. Any one else out there...
