Hi everyone.
I have one question: How long after debracing can you get your teeth whitening (over the counter strips or "zoom") ?

Thanks for reading my post and hope you can give me an idea.

Hi there,

Check with your Dr. if you can qualify and if they have it in stock; INVISALIGN.
if your problem is not that bad that can help you.

Bye

I'm soooooo happy for you. You look great.
I got my braces just like you in dec'06, I hope my D brace day is soon just like yours.

I have just one question : Do you have permanent retainers or the other types?

Bye....bye

I am very busy with work and this time here in Aruba is CARNAVA L time, so party everywhere. :lol: I just came back from my 2nd adj . nothing happened really. The doc just put new o-rings, he left the same wire in, but t...

Hi,

I have only been braced for a little more then a month now.
But I can say that my adjustments are planned to be every 4 week and until now I have not broke anything yet.
Hopefully it will continue like this.

Hello jc75, I know exactly what you mean. I have on both side of my lower molars the same problem as you have. It happened twice with me on both side, I went the first time to my ortho and he told me that it is not a big problem unless the wire is poking you, which in my case wasn't poking me at al...

Hello Denise,

Thanks for the answer.

Hi all,

I just have a question about "LOOPS in the archwire".
I have seen some members on here that have this in their archwire:
WHY DO THE ORTHO PUT LOOP(S) IN THE ARCHWIRE ?

I hope someone out there can give me the answer.

Bye......Marvin

Hi everyone, I just want to answer the questions of linda21 , 8) Heavier wire on both arches? Yes I got a heavier wire on both arches, the ortho said to put some extra strenght so a few teeth will move for the next adjustment. :wink: How does my bite feel? Wonderfull, earlier I was always concious ...
