Is it normal for gums to start hurt out of now where after being debraced for three month. It's hurting on both sides where the molar bands were, it hurt like I've just gotten them removed.

Thank you so much, I'm doing muchhhhhh better, no chewing anymore even though food still get caught in there it doesn't hurt

I have a space between my back teeth now, food wedged in there make my gums sore and the pain begins. What can be the problem?

They took my molar bands off, there's now a space there. food get's caught in there and it's a pain, not sure what's going on, but it make it really difficult to eat.

Hello all, Sooooo excited in 4 weeks I will be debraced
However, they removed my molarbands and it has been very hard to chew anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this normal?

My teeth are all in place, now just have to work on the front alignment which is not that bad off.

How long after my teeth line up will i have to continue to wear braces, and why?

WOW LaShaun your teeth look great!! This really caught my attention because my teeth looked almost the same last March when I began. I have come really far just as you have - isn't it great to see how nice your teeth can really be!! When will you be getting your braces off? And I am also curious - ...

once they focused on it, it took no time for it to come down. The day i went to get my adjustment when they where focusing on the canine it was in place before the next adjustment.

WOW your teeth look awesome :-)o You go girl! How has it been with rubberbands? I am 5 months in and my ortho said in 2 more visits I will get them so any advise would be great :wink: Here to your rocking teeth :-88 It's been fine so far, just a little sore, nothing to really complain about. I thin...

Thank you to everyone, I am so excited. The ortho in the beginning said it may be two year, but look like I'm moving really good.

I am so excited, today makes a year for my top braces check me out http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9498/myfebadjtq6.th.jpg Feb 25 adjustment http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6864/frontviewup1.th.jpg Feb 25 adjustment :pinkbraces: Me a year ago: http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/6448/sd530218jr...

I pray my teeth keep moving fast, maybe my treatment will end sooner than the two year span the ortho. originally gave me. My year is in Feb. hopefully I'll be finished or close to it

This is where I was going in for the October adjustment

three days after adjustment
day of adjustme

So how long did they give you?
I'm suppose to be in them for 2 years but I think it will b shorter due my teeth moving so well. I had crowding in the front of my lower and a canine in the top right.

Good luck with the braces, it will all worth it in the end
