I get my braces today, but my wisdom teeth aren't being taken out until next saturday. Am I the only one who has gotten braces and then work like that done??? I know my mouth is going to be sore for the next few weeks because of having it done so close together, but I'm ok with that. The doc that is...

I definitely will!! I'm pretty excited, but a little bit nervous at the same time. If people only ever saw me in pictures, I wouldn't worry about braces because my teeth look perfect in pictures.

Thats so exciting!!! What kind of braces do you have?? I'm not getting my hopes up because I doubt it will happen, but I'm hoping I'll have my braces off by my sister's wedding on July 12, 2008 (I'm getting them on today). I know its a long shot and, like I said, I'm not getting my hopes up, but its...

Thats great, Katz!! Very happy for you that you have such great parents that would do this for you, and the timing of getting them off before your wedding is so awesome!! Whats funny is that while I was still single, I joked to my friends that I was getting married July 25, 2009. But now that I'm wi...

This is something I was worried about too!!! I work in Administration and am also the Receptionist. I am on the phone all day with people and paging other people throughout the building. I was worried about how "Parts, Lines Six and Seven. Parts, Lines Six and Seven" was going to come out....

Originally posted by: lionfish If I'd elected to pay as I went, I'm pretty sure a deposit was involved (I paid the full amount up front and got a 5% discount). That is similar to my situation.

I just went to one. I know everyone around here recommends shopping around first, but this is what was best for me. My brother's girlfriend works in a dental clinic, and she set me up with my consultation and all my other appointments. The dentist and ortho she works for are some of the best around ...

I have a terrible habit of clenching my jaw, without even noticing it while I'm doing it. Its when I go to talk or eat, that I realise my jaw was just clenched really tight. I didn't even know I grind my teeth in my sleep, it was pointed out to me originally by my mom. I thought I was long since out...

Genie, I suppose the easiest way to answer your question, would be for you to call your ortho's office and talk to someone there. I had my consultation two thursdays ago, my cleaning and check-up last Thursday, and I get my braces on next Thursday. Its all coincidence that I'm there on Thursdays eac...

I'm going to have an interesting time next week. I'm getting my braces on for the first time the day before Easter long weekend. So for me, it won't just be a case of having to pick and choose what I can eat and just have to cut it up, I don't think I'll be able to eat any of what my family makes!! ...
