Welcome all you newly braced people - this board is great , we are all here supporting each other!!

Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate it!! I really was annoyed when I came out of my appointment but I'm over it now - he can think what he wants, Im paying for my teeth to be the way I want them to be and he cant say anything about it - they're my teeth!!!! He's been my dentsit for ove...

Hi, I was at my own dentist this morning for my 6 monthly check up! I hadnt informed him I was getting braces as I went private and self referred. I had discussed it with him quite a few times over the past 6 or 7 years but he always put me off getting them by saying they wouldnt make much differenc...

Hi, your teeth look really good for only having them 2 months!!

I called my ortho's office this morning for a bit more advice, wish I had'nt now!! :? They wanted me to get it on now as im on a tight deadline (need fixed for Aug 08 - wedding day) Im not getting it now because of the holiday period as lots of eating and drinking to be done :D :D and he said it wou...

Ive just had my braces put on my uppers only. I had to go private also as I'm 26! The consultation was free, I got ceramic braces and they cost me £1900 upper only, it would have been £2100 if I paid in installments. I would probably double that cost if you were getting upper and lower done. I wen...

Do all expanders require you to "turn a key"???:shock:

I dont really know much about them as my ortho hasn't went in to much detail about them, he just said for me to get a wider smile!
