I cannot wait to get my teeth cleaned and bleached after debanding. Has anyone's orthodontist said anything about waiting periods after?

Well Thanks I am going to try to tough it out for now maybe until the next appt, maybe all I have to do is switch western dental offices to one near my work. When I set this one up it was near work but it isnt anymore. its far and out of the way. I am starting to calm down and perhaps when that happ...

Thanks for the advice. I will see if the other ortho will still see me. I will call him on monday and set up an appt for next monday as I have my kids this week.

Thankfully I am only working on my 3rd appt.

You make many excellent points. Perhaps he did feel that it was not time to include the wisdoms but then why would the other ortho have that planned? I didnt tell you...I got a job and a heck of a raise. Yes at the time I was pressed. Moving on may or may not be an option I am not yet sure of what I...

Delag, I applied to work for the old ortho, not the new lazy one.

Karen, I have a pretty scar that usually does it. I went to a hockey game and had to show a little leg when the alarm went off. I didnt have braces yet so I knew it was the ankle. Another giveaway was when the guard passed the wand over my right ankle it went nuts. Then over my left and nothing. Abo...

Ok I had 3 consultations and I went with the least expensive one. After today I am wondering about my decision. I am very happy that I got braces but not so happy with my choice of ortho. First of all I don't remember if I told you but my ortho left the practice and I have a new ortho and now I migh...

that is a great story Karen. I am glad you had a good time. I haven't been to a GNR concert since 92 I was 13 or 14 when appetite came out, I agree a very good album. Joney too funny about what your daughter said about the lipstick. I am curious though as to how a lip gloss would be considered dange...

I had an MRI on my ankle long before I had braces and they had me take my piercings out so I guess the only thing to do is ask and tell them your concerns.

Thank you for your well wishes. I have heard nothing but it is the memorial day weekend so I am not worried. I will be sure to keep you all posted. I did receive another job offer on thursday. I accepted because frankly I am tired of interviewing. I may be able to work for my ortho part time though.

I am trying to find glow in the dark ligs so I can buy them and take them in for the next adjustment.

This weekend I went up north to visit my family for Memorial day and I drank tons of water but it wasn't enough. By Sat afternoon I had wax everywhere. My poor cheeks. As soon as I got back to Phoenix I could remove the wax without drama.

I was a wax fiend but set out several periods of time where I didn't wear wax on purpose and tried to see how long I could go w/o it. I am on 2 weeks w/o wax because I stay hydrated. Lots and lots of water. I dont drink soda anymore. After alcohol I have 2 glasses of water for every one glass of alc...

I have no idea which wires I have.
They are very flexible but not heat activated.

Because I broke a bracket the same day as my appt (after of course) I had an appt this morning to fix it. I was early and had a chance to chat with the ortho receptionist. She said that I wouldn't need to go to school to be the ortho asst, I would go to different offices to train and then come back ...
