Thanx for the support everyone. I'll tell you one thing , I am never going to complain how the braces look after having these elastics in the front. I do have a question , are the little hooks that the elastic wraps around supposed to be a little lose? And what to the eleastics actually do? Pull my ...

Hi everyone...Well today after 10 weeks I went in for my first adjustment..OMG!!!!! I have never been in so much discomfort..I'm still getting used to the braces and the whole look of it, when he tells me it's time for Elastics!..But not on the sides , he put them on dead center my 2 top front, atta...

It's been 2 months since I've been braced with Damon3 something. < I have to ask which ones at my first adjustment beginning of April <10>. Anyway...2 of my teeth on my left are now touching slightly and a few more on my right. I only had 1 back molor touching on the right side at the beginning. And...

It took me 5 trys to reply to this one...Then I went through internet explorer and it worked. I have been using AOL and have no problems until now.

I can't even send an email to the admin it won't let me.

9/10 tries and it says I've been banned..I hope she see't this and can straighten it out.

Anyone else having this problem?

Well...it happened. I went for lunch and had some soup. As I was swallowing I choked a litte but thought it was the noodle..After 5 mins i realized the wax was gone..lol oops.

>CG sounds like you have hydration problems! If your body is properly hydrated your brackets shouldn't 'stick' to your cheeks. Karen I drink atleast 3 litres of water a day..It's only when I wake up in the morning that I have to unstick. I think I may try and sleep with the wax tonight and see what ...

OMG..I wake up everymorning and have to push both sides of my cheek with my tongue to get them " unstuck".

Thankyou everyone!

I just applied wax to six of my upper teeth excluding the 2 front. 3 on each side. OMG this is heaven! The first time since Jan that there's no rubbing etc..It's so smooth, I never knew. OK so my question is..How long should the wax be on the teeth/covering the braces etc..? It's so nice not seeing ...

I don't have the clear ice but I was fitted with damon because of the " expanding issues. My Ortho is giving me 8 months in damons to see if it has expanded enough not to get a pallete Expander.

Thankyou.

Ugh! Sorry about that.. I tried to eat my favorote choc bar for the first time last week. A Twix. Cookie covered in choc and caramel. I thought the caramel would be soft and easy to chew. Let's just say I had to peel the caramal off the bar and was left with some milk choc and the cookie instead.

Hi everyone...March 16th would be 2 months since I've been braced and still having a hard time adjusting. I have damons3m <something>. For the past 3 days I've noticed my uppers feeling more " bulky". My lip doesn't completey cover. Could the reason be my teeth r slowly moving outward. My ...

I think it's time I clean or use something to disinfect my tooth picker. My question is what do u all use. other than a hot water rinse which is what I'm doing now.

For the last 2 days no pain or discomfort..First time since Jan 16th. I'm taking advantage and eating what I can!
