How often do all of you get x-rays taken besides the initial records? I switched orthodontists halfway through my treatment. My first orthodontist never took any x-rays after the initial records were taken. When I switched orthodontists, I had records taken again, which is understandable. I have bee...

Lucy did you brush, floss, use interdental brushes and rinse first ... coz if you did and you still had enough plaque to turn your toothbrush pink ... ophs ... sounds like you need to review how to keep your oral hygiene up to scratch. Haha let's not jump to conclusions. I usually did a quick brush...

eh *shrug* I've just been brushing after breakfast and before bed like I have for my entire life. To be honest, I've never used my travel brush >.> I also don't eat very much when I'm away from home anyway, and especially not things that get stuck more easily (vegetables are the worst). XD I do chew...

When I used those, I sawed them in half with a regular dinner knife. The most irritating thing for me was when the bristles on my toothbrush turned pink. XD not sure why... that was just very irritating.

wow what a great way to start my morning: "congratulations, you might have made a freaking huge mistake with your life!" When I was in 7th grade, I went to an orthodontist, and he told me that I'd have to either get 4 bicuspids pulled or do the thing where a little bit is shaved off of eac...

Guess I came too late :\ ah well. I'm glad it went ok for you ^^ I didn't bleed either.

the title of this thread definitely reminded me of "Happy Birthday" by The Birthday Massacre.

I got 4 bicuspids pulled old-school. I only got local anesthesia, and I didn't take any drugs afterwards. It kind of sucked XD

I have to get my wisdoms out at some point... so not looking forward to it >.> only a third of my friends who've done it already had smooth recoveries.

the sticky post said it was around 25, but I can say from experience that is so NOT true XD I definitely got to mess with my sig after around 5 posts... maybe it's because I posted all 5 in one day, and it has something to do with average activity... weiss nicht.

I got those exact 4 extractions. My orthodontist actually wanted me to get 4 wisdom teeth out all on the same day, and I was like... noooooooo way. Sometimes, I still wonder if these gaps will really be closed, but there's no turning back now. I figure, I've got a lot of teeth, so I can spare some p...

I use Carmex in the tube, but I've also used Blistex sticks and love them, too! It's so dry here in Colorado that I'm always using lip balm and moisturizers. Yes, I do drink lots of water, too! Jembrace Same here. Chapstick is an everyday necessity for me XD I just can't imagine going half a day wi...

I don't know if I can remember this exactly but... regular toothbrush floss threader things proxy brush (the head broke off, so I had to go get another one XD) travel brush (guilty of never using, ever... >.>) 1 packet of wax disclosing tablets hourglass magnet Oral B fluoride gel (I'm running out a...

Forgot to mention... Burt's isn't my favorite, but it's awesome!

My lips don't crack as long as I have some form of lip balm on. The type doesn't really matter. My regular dentist actually gives her patients minty lip balm, and I got some from my oral surgeon too, so I'm use those right now. Teatree mint is great XD

That's great! ^_^

on a sidenote, you might want to think about resizing your userpic XD it is really freaking big.
