I am 28 living in Sydney and got braced 15 Dec 06

Hi kk, I contact oralbreeze and they replied next day. It will cost around 70aud which puts the Aussie seller way out of the market. Does the quickpik do the same result as the waterpick. I suppose I could only use it when I am home, but thats most of the time anyway. Do they work the same way with ...

kk,

Thank you so much for your reply.
What model do you have.

This is all so new to me.

I am in Aussie and finding it very difficult to purchase a water pick. I rang oral B and they advised the following as there closest product. http://www.oral-b.com/au/products/power_oxyjetcentre.asp Could I please have some thoughts as I have noticed my teeth are not as clean even though I brush man...

Thanks so much.
I thinks cause it still all fairly new, I am getting a little worried I may be doing something wrong.

Had a fairly uneventful 3 weeks. Back to eating anything so its great.

Hi everyone. I got braces just over 3 weeks ago and have my first adjustment next Monday 15/01/07. I just brushed my teeth after eating my lunch and noticed the wire on my top arch is quite loose. I can tell as I have a large gap after an extraction and the wire is direct onto a tooth. My problem is...

Dear kk, Thank yous much. I am going to buy a nice strong coffee tomorrow morning. I have found your OTT cleaning process on a previous post and have starting doing that. I will also get a whitening toothpase and give it a go. Is this why you begin your treatment with the Listerine Whitening rinse? ...

I have been braced for a week now with clear brackets on top and bottom. I have tried to be good with what foods I eat so not to stain.

Can I still drink Tea and coffee?. I have been having daily headaches from zero caffenne.

PLease - someone tell me I can
Thanks Jodie

OK, this is rather embarrasing. I had braces put on last friday. I am brushing/rinsing at least 5 times a day. I am yet to find floss threaders at a chemist. But I have noticed that when I touch the brackets (the ones with the hooks) at the back of my mouth, they are starting to smell. Just like whe...

Thanks everyone. I have sent and email to Dentakit asking for the shipping costs and aud conversions. I have heard good things about these and they appear to be small enoughtotake to work and travel. Still a bit confused with flossing (never done it before) but thinking positive and I will get there...

Hi,

I had my braces put on last Friday. Still a little tender but no need for pain releif now.
Do any Aussies know of any places other than dentakit to purchase there pick and cleaning products.
I would love to know.

Hey all you aussies......

Congrats on your braces. I am 28 and have mine put on Friday. I am so nervous. I have wanted to do this for years and finally had the courage to do so. I have told a few people about it. Keep us posted on how you are feeling. Jodie

Hey another aussie here too. I am 28 and have always needed braces but been a little scared. I found a nice dentist and he has helped me heaps. I got my spaces put in last night and braces on the 15/12. I cant wait for the braces cause these spaces are killing me...... Good luck with everything Jodie

I got my spaces put in yesterday and they seemed OK.
Today, I woke up (I am in Aust and a bit ahead) and I cant eat and they hurt. Is this normal? Jodie
