Hope that helps.

OK, I've been braced for about a week and a half. Finally comfortable with them. I don't even really need the wax anymore. This morning I had my two back upper bicuspids pulled. Pulling wasn't too bad. Snapped off some roots on the first attempt. Was able to get them out with some kind of puller tho...

Thanks Kitty. First few days have actually been pretty easy. Other than the general getting used to the mouthfull, I've had really no pain at all. A few mildly sensitive teeth, but that's it. I hope you're doing OK! Braced32, thanks for stopping by! I guess I have a class II overbite. Whatever that ...

Hey Kitty,

looks like we share a brace day. Congrats on getting it done! These will definitely take some getting used to though.

Can't wait to see your progress!





my braces story ---->viewtopic.php?t=24056

Just a quick update. Got braced this morning. Not bad at all. Didn't get the TAD screws yet, I guess that'll be a few months down the road. We're going to straighten out the line, then pull everything in. Two teeth to pull on 2/25 then a full upper wire two weeks later. I only have a partial wire no...

OK, tomorrow's the day. Unfortunately, my regular cleaning just happened to fall on the same day that my braces go on. I probably should have rescheduled, but I figured I'd get the braces on with nice clean teeth. A cleaning at 8:30 and Ortho at 9:55 - my mouth will be open all morning!

Yeah, deep bite for sure. Luckily it's only when I chew. My lower jaw sits more forward normally. Most people don't notice...but it's definitely there!

Hopefully you see some results soon. Good news you didn't need any extractions!

Thought I'd finally post some pics of what I have going on. Hopefully they won't be too big http://www.pointsouthinc.com/teeth/frontbefore.jpg http://www.pointsouthinc.com/teeth/bottombefore.jpg I guess the arrows will line up after I'm all done. The X marks the teeth to be pulled. The circled X is ...

Hey Sarah,

Great to hear the mini screws worked out good for you. I wasn't sure how those would feel. Doesn't sound like it's anything to freak out about.

I have a bunch of before pics they took at the ortho, I should post them soon, so everyone knows where I stand.

OK, I've got the appointment to have the two upper bicuspids pulled. I'm getting braced 2/13 and the teeth pulled on 2/25. I figure that should be enough time for me to get over the general soreness of the braces and deal with having the teeth pulled. Brace day is a week from today and I can't wait ...

Sorry to hear you had such a tough time! Hopefully you're feeling better by now.

No one told me about that no straw / pressure rule. After a few days of having my wisdom teeth out, I could "breathe" air between my mouth and sinus from the tooth hole.

Hey Braced32 I'm the same age as you and also finally getting braces. I'll be getting braced 2/13 and having two extractions shortly after. I was put under to have four wisdom teeth pulled about 8 years ago. Going under was fine....I'd definitely do it again. A little nausiating waking up though. Go...

Ok, now that does sound a bit extreme. I'll put some pics up after I get everything on. It's fun to see how others have progressed, so I guess I should post my own. 2/13 is my big day. Needless to say, it's going to be a quiet valentines day. My wife is very supportive though, so that's good. She ha...

I'm already thinking I must be nuts for doing this. Oh well. :D I didn't realize there were so many different options for braces. I'm just going with what the ortho recomended. Hopefully it's a good option. I'm meeting with the OS tomorrow to talk about pulling two upper bicuspids. The ortho is goin...

Surprisingly, I am actually excited. I've put it off so long, feels good to get started. Nervous and curious also. I just read a lot of your story from your topic....sounds like a wild ride. Big improvments though! I can't wait to see my own results.
