dmartell: Here's your success story...I'm 26/f and was dating a guy for 7months and thought I had everything...I just got braced about 2 months ago or so, and thought it was the en d of my world!! BUT it wasn't!!! I have ceramic braces...I get comments all the time like "good for you, do you k...

Question: I've had my spring on (between my front left tooth and the canine....there is plenty of space now...(spring has been in place for 2 1/2-3 weeks or so now) but my tooth hasn't moved...I got in for my 1st adjustment in 2 weeks...will they FINALLY connect this tooth to bring it forward???

I just had my first cleaning this morning since being braced...and They cleaned my teeth with baking soda and water..it was like a high pressure waterpik! how cool was that???? She made me feel a little bit better about flossing as well. gave me some of that new crest glide floss to try that might b...

Hey guys thanks for the responses!!! I've def. seen a difference in my "bite" seems that my molars are in diffferent places LOL :lol: I bite down on my teeth and they just dont feel the same now. Also yes, the flossing I've been able to do, I've noticed where it's harder in spots it's neve...

Greetings All! So I figured since I'm on here ALL THE TIME getting advice I might as well be like everyone else and record my journey (which I'm also doing on myspace page too) So about me: I'm 27 a bartender by night and 30 days ago today I got braced with mystiques...top and bottom. My journey st...

5400.00 for mystiques top/bottom and of course all treatment from start to finish including retainer

I got a spring between my front tooth and my canine as well....a week ago yesterday, and they put a soft tube on the outside to help with my gums. I'm hoping I can get this spring off soon (looks like it's a month til my first adjustment) the only thing I can say badly about this is the tube stains ...

thanks guys!!! Seems today was a good day on tryin to chew back there...I have a SoniCare tooth brush I'm thinking I might need a good cleaning since getting BRACED and maybe shown a way to regain my patience cuz it just seems impossible to floss my molars!

Hi GRANT! I'm 30 days exactly into my braces and I just started lettuce. I had a very hard time adjusting to my new mouth. I bite into few foods but I'm trying. Keep your head up...and keep tryin, the more you try the more you'll be inclined to keep pushing yourself. I've found that it's like exerc...

1 month into braces!!! WOO HOO I'm eating more and more everyday..but I wont lie. I'm a bad flosser. It's SO HARD I'm very impatient and just give up after a tooth or so. lol BUT here's my problem....MY right side molars are very very very sensistive..it's still hard to chew anything...I tried floss...

I heard you can't use whitening agents with the ceramic brackets....any truth to that one???

Don't use Crest Pro-Health. It doesn't stain but does leave little blue (or green depending on the flavor) specks of stuff that is hard to get out of the braces. that's soo funny you said that...I use the pro health and I always had mouthwashed last b/c it left blue mouthwash stuff on my tongue..an...

Ok so I have mystiques and neo clips on....I was wondering if there is anthing else besides the neo clips that don't stain...

I've read people talking about ties.....i can't remember the full name of them...

Thanks for all your input!!! I just wish that I could wake up and BOOM straight teeth..but that's the story of everyone's life! LOL I can tell my teeth are loosening, I think my worse experience wasn't the pain from the teeth but my gums adjusting to the brackets....cold sores, soreness...uhh..but t...
