Just hang in there, it will get better, I promise.... Ive had mine in for just over 2 months and they feel like a part of me now. The first few days were bad but it progressivly got better. Follow the great advice given on this board and you will be fine.

By the way, ive spent many a night at the rocky mountain track back when I was single and had a life ( if my wife reads ...

Hey everyone, havn't checked back here for awhile. The weather has been great and am spending most of my free time either playing golf or working the yard. So a quick update. I went in on the 9th of April for my first full adjustment. The assistant did all the work ( is this normal ? ). She removed ...

You should be fine with just 2 spacers, you'll probably not even notice after a couple of days. Good Luck with the extraction.

I'm on week five and am able to eat everything ok. I do have a little tenderness in my front teeth but not bad. I can't rip into anything like pre braces but thats ok. You will eventually get there. The veterans on this board will tell you to eat through the pain, it's very good advice . Before long...

My teeth are a little loose but not bad, just ha my first adj yesturday and it was relativly pain free except for a couple of teeth. The ortho put a finger on the tooth as she was twisting the wire ties. Kept my teeth from moving to much while being wired.

I'll be updating those soon, had my first adjustment yesturday and I took some pics after. The only draw back to the white wire is it c...

Great pics, Great results. Gives us all something to shoot for.

Congrats

Nice, You've got to be excited, time to go out and treat your self to something good. :thumbsup: so I have to ask, now that you can look back over the whole process. Did the time really fly as every one says or did it seem to take for ever to get here. Ive only been in braces for just over 5 weeks a...

I had 12 spacers put in and they were all blue except for 2 metal ones. I got a few stares but I really did not care. It actually made it easier to keep tabs on those little suckers. ( they tend to want to fall out when things start to open up ).
