Welcome Taylor I am 14 also I have been in braces for 2 months and had both tops and bottoms bonded the same day , also had a RPE installed too. I came back about a month and a half later and got a LHA bonded. I had four teeth extracted post braces and have been predicted to be in braces for three y...

Oh yes my mom turned mine.

I had to turn mine once each night for thirty days . I think my expander has to stay in the top of my mouth for three months. To let the bones harden in that place.

I have to know whats going on in my mouth Thanks now I do know there are elastics for me on the market.

I am learning new things everyday. I am only 14 and I need to know as much as possible , because my predicted time in braces is three years.

Thanks I never realized those were on the orthodontic market. My friend also is allergic to latex and they told her they may have to go another route instead so I do not know . Thanks for the reply. ( Oh yes my folder is flagged red so they don't use latex on me , but I will remind her)

what would an orthodontist do when your allergic to latex , but you need elastics?

I haven't ate anything on my no-no list so I think I've done pretty good. My ortho said with cooperation your time in braces could be shortened . Maybe that will happen my teeth are moving the way they should.

That doesn't seem very good at all. My expander hasen't came unbonded yet . I would definately call.

mmym29 that is exactly what I can't wait for. Yummy!!!!!

I am only 14 too , but I have a lot longer in mine
