Hi all! I had my 1st adjustment last Friday (the 20th). Wow! My teeth were very tender as the assistant was pulling of the ligs. I thought there would be no pain considering my teeth were no longer hurting. It was such a weird sensation when the wires were taken off. My teeth wiggled all over the pl...

KK ... do you mean this is a stain that's been hidden between your two front teeth ... if so, when you have your first teeth clean appointment, ask if they can get rid of it for you! Nope, no stain. It's actually a small gap that has formed due to the shape of my teeth and those two teeth getting p...

Thanks for all the great words of encouragement and advice. You guys are great! 11 days in braces now. No more pain. Hope I'm still getting again though. I can feel some of my teeth "shift" if I press on them. Espically my lower front ones. So, I guess they are a bit loose. I haven't used ...

Hi! I had a lot of pressure/pain in one of my upper front teeth yesterday. Super sensitive! And I could have sworn that I could feel it up in my nose as well. At least now I know that someone else has felt that too! :)

Ugh. I hate these dang things! Even though my husband says I look cute in them. I feel like everyone I come across (even those I don't know) are staring at me. I also feel like my lips are sticking out a mile and a half. But I'll get used to them in time, I suppose. I know I'll be thankful in the lo...

Groovy, was she studying in Leicester?? I know a lot of people who go to Leics uni!!
I'm assuming that is the school she went to. I wanna say her offical major is Linguistics. I could be wrong though.

We use care credit for our dental as well, but are using my husband's flex benefit plan from work to pay for my ortho expenses.

Bruxers Unite! :)

Anyways. I am a daytime clencher. I'll catch myself doing it and have to stop so, I'm sure I'm doing it at night as well.

I wonder if there is something my ortho will make we wear during the day to stop it?
