Oh wow, you had an amazing outcome!!! really motivating! Good work!

I just woke up to find that one of my bottom brackets is completely loose? I can't bite down because of it, but it's a Saturday and my ortho office is closed. What should I do?

i just got braces monday, and my mom & a few friends notice i have a bit of a lisp, and say my "s" funny....i didn't notice it at first, but now im sooo self-consious about it...i hope it goes away!

It didn't take long for me to get my braces on at all! and the pain really didnt start until later that night. I was in a lot of pain the next morning, but I found that by going to school it kind of took my mind off of the pain. I suppose it depends!

I'm glad to hear someone else has this problem!

I do have to say it's easier to eat softer things, but also bigger bites of things. I'm not sure why though.

Hi! I'm a newbie here, heh. I have a question, which I really haven't seen addressed yet, and if it has, I'm sorry to repost! I just had braces put on this past monday, full. I had them once before when I was around 10, to correct my underbite but they were only four across the top. Now, I'm in full...

I had the same problem with the underbite when I was 10. I only had top braces though, but now I have them for the second time, full braces. For a different reason though.

I'm glad to hear you're making such good progress!!!
