elastics stretching?

Hopefully this topic isn't overdone! I looked through the history and couldn't find anything..... My ortho gave me elastics that I'm supposed to use to pull my "fangs" back quicker..... when I put them on, about 4-6 hours later I can't tell they are there and are very stretched out. She to...

OH NO!!!!!! I am in the same situation (I'm in Canada)... I was so happy today that in a month I would be able to claim on the new benefits, but I might not be able to?!?!? DAMN!!!! I hope my ortho will adjust the billing..... if not, I am paying for monthly adjustments, which will be dated for each...

I'm not sure if it was just my ortho sucking up to me, but she seeing me every 4 weeks. She said that if we go 6-8 weeks she "worries about her patients" so she sees us every 4. lol I seem to be a brat (a 27 year old wuss) and she's left it open to see her whenever I want :oops: I would go...

I'm glad that I am at a call centre since I seem to be spitting a lot when I talk!
I also am having trouble with my F's, which is annoying since I say numbers all day (three, four).
So frustrating!

updates on pain (if anyone wants to know).... :)

I'm feeling a bit better about my braces......... #1. My spouse had his benefits change and now I'm going to get $2K (out of $8K) covered! This is freaking awesome! #2. I got the whole top wire put in and started with the elastics, plus half of the bottom in. #3. For the pain issue (my tooth extract...

I haven't really had a problem, and I talk on the phone all day! My mouth gets sore, and I still have a slight lisp and have trouble saying numbers still.... but other than that, no big deal. I've only had them on a week. I've told pretty much everyone, and have even been bearing my teeth to show pe...

my story....a few questions....pain, room, hitting, etc

First off, before I got my braces I was excited. Everyone said it was worth it and for the amount I'm paying ($7500 for ceramics) I kinda thought this would be good. I'm a 27 year old female. The dentist office and my ortho assured me over and over (and over) that this wouldn't hurt and I would not ...

extractions done on June 1st
bracets went on June 4th, wire couldn't go in because it hurt too much!

wire goes in june 25th

I'm not very excited at all..... this is VERY painful and I have a feeling it's not going to get much better for a few months.
