Hiya Well after a few days of using my sonicare ellite hx7500 , my verdict is (da dada da dum) its fantastic !! My teeth have never been so clean :D I had a simple battery powered oral-b toothbrush , which i thought was great till i used the sonicare. My sonicare has a 14 build up process, it slowly...

Hello , what do you think is the best toothbrush ? and does it change after braces ? A few years back I decided after years of using a manual toothbrush to up grade to an oral-b battery powered toothbrush ( round head ) for those of us in the uk you can pick it up most shops for just under £10. it ...

Hiya,

The only reason i can i think of is subborn teeth
I was feeling sorry for myself until i read Clo's post , wow 5 years

Yes its been three years and around 4 days ! I thought in the begining i would only be braced for around 1 to 2 years max. I was 21 when i started the treatment and now im 24 . I visit my ortho every 6 to 8 weeks like a good girl but i seem to get no time off for good behaviour :( No i think im fina...

It pays to shop around thought. my first visit to an ortho ( near the center of birmingham ) cost me £60 consutation fee , then for the next visit for the moulds it would cost £80 then treatment cost of £2900 not inc after care . it was just to m...

HI, Well the answer is a big fat YES, I didnt think when i used one the other week ( red ) about the colour transfering as i was sure my mouth was spot less. The good news was my teeth was so bright white with no red stains. Bad news was my braces/ligs changed to a bright red colour , the ligs were ...

hi, Im from the uk and went through what your going through now. You can get braces either way, through the dentist via a referal to an ortho or directly through an ortho itself. Iv done both , I went to the dentist who refered me to an ortho, this took around 3 months ( it all depends on the orthos...

Hi everyone, Im hoping that when my braces come off ( some time in october i hope ) i can have my metal fillings removed and white ones put in. I went to the dentist last week and asked how much it would be. answer = £ 100 per white filling !!!! as i have 5 thats £ 500 :shock: so im just wondering...

Hello, its been ages since i last longed on. I thought i would be out of braces by now but no such luck. two days ago i was on my last wires ( the ones that close the gaps ) but when i went to my orth yesterday the bottom wire had come away from my teeth and made my teeth a little crooked again :cry...

Iv had a lot of ups and downs with my braces. one second im happy with them and the next i hate them. Iv had braces now for 13 months and today i had to go to my ortho. Hopefully next time i go back in six weeks time i will get my last archwire. !!! il prob have it on for six months maybe but at lea...

Maybe it was a bad curry , it tasted yuk. iv just moved house and never had a curry from round this area before so maybe it was that.

my ticker at the bottom is wrong, I am behind time so iv got about another 6 months

I know there have been many posts about curry and every time i saw one i thought yum yum curry. so i got the week off work last week and thought i know il treat myself to one because as i saw it i had a whole week of tooth brushing to remove the stains. so thats what i did last sat , i ordered a kor...
