I am getting braced tommorow as well .. i know this isnt in response to your question but i just thought i would say i am terrified also and good luck

Thanks lala .. i know how annoying it is when you get relapse .. unfortunatley it meant braces again for me! I hope yours can be sorted out without being fully braced again

And also in response to another question/post .. i will be in braces for maybe 12 months as an estimate ..

Its wierd, i know i really should remember about all of this but i was only 13 and i guess i didnt really pay much attention lol.
Thanks for the replies

Hi all, well i am gonna be getting full damon braces on tuesday and to be honest i am so scared! I know i shouldnt be as i have had them before only 3-4 years ago ( im 17 now) but i have been scared of the dentist all my life and i am amazed that i have actaully chosen to put myself through this ag...

I had the exact same problem! I went away and forgot the retainers and then wore them less and less. My ortho did make new ones to tweak them back but they kinda hurt so i just didnt wear them as much as i was supposed to. I was only 14 then and figured it wouldnt matter. But as the 3 years after we...

hey, well i am 17 and am not yet an adult so i may not qualify for this board but i would still have braces when i turn 18 (only like 8 months away). I need a bit of advice actaully.. i am in the UK so basically going through applications to uni and just got results and stuff and i am trying to do s...

Thanks to everyone who replied- gave great advice! i made the descision after much deliberation .. *drum roll* and its gonna be damons for 12 months! I knew i would be too tempted to not wear my aligners and i dont think the movement would be as inspiring as damons. Anyhow my brace day is set for th...

Thanks for that KK, and I agree with that but the ortho has given me pro's and con's of each type and said it was completley up to me as they would both give the same result as my problem is mainly aesthetic and not bite wise. Cost was only difference she implied - but cost isnt too much of an issue...

hey guys.. just thought i would share the news i have officially chosen an ortho and the treatment plan is done... except for one detail ... damon or invisilign?? If anyone has any experiences or views please help! My desicion has to be made by the end of today she said :shock: The verdict was anyho...

Hi everyone... i had a quick question.. i recently saw my ortho and he concluded i had a class I malaclussion.. basically just crooked teeth! I had braces a few years ago and had relapse hence the reason for braces again. Since i dont have any bite issues as such (like no elastics needed- never had ...

Good luck! Congrats on getting this far! Hope the look and feel awesome.

Hi everyone... well I seem to have a bit of problem. I will be *hopefully* getting braces in the next 2 months and the real reason (apart from vanity) is that i have a rotated cupsid (i think thats the term- its the pointy looking tooth after the laterals!) and it really hurts me all the time becaus...

Oh- i was really getting worried that my ortho wasnt supposed to do that! Thanks

Hi, looking around on this site i have found that many people have an equal number of teeth on either side of their arches ... and i dont seem too! my right lower side has one extra pre molar than the left! i had extractions when i was really young- around 10 and i had 3 removed from the bottom. Is ...
