No kidding Katt,

I guess I always thought powerchains were "later" in the treatment!

My teeth feel like they are going to fall out at any minute ) But at least they don't hurt anymore!

Thanks Jenny and Braces :) I went in for my adjustment and I got LOTS done. New top wire, OUCH, and a powerchain---DOUBLE OUCH! They also wired several more of my teeth and wow did that hurt too! I haven't had much pain, but that powerchain was PAINFUL! It seems odd to me that I have a band on my ca...

Hey there everyone! It seems like it has been forever! Braces don't give me a 2nd thought anymore and it is hard to believe that the 7th of May was my 3rd month in braces! Things are moving a ton and I am really enjoying the changes :) I go in for my next adjustment this Thursday and I was told I wo...

Thanks everyone for the responses! Yes it is soooo cool that they are moving. I was a little worried that they were not going to after the first month, which I know is totally not logical, HOWEVER ;) I did take the advise on the toothpaste for sensitive teeth and that made a HUGE difference in those...

Kitty..I was hoping for a gushing of comments also :-)) But he was just VERY irritated at those bottom canines :) Had to rein those puppie...

Thanks for the responses jenny and kitty :) I need to try to get a picture of this wire thing....it really hurts and I have to say that for the first time since I got my braces I am not wanting to eat...it feels as if I have a HUGE cavity in those bottom canines! That horrible cold sensitivity...kin...

I have been swamped with work and that is good as it has made me forget about my braces ;) Not much pain at all, every once in awhile I will have one tooth that is achy...but not bad ;) I go in at 10 am for my first adjustement and I am excited how things already look!! Here are the pics! Left is da...

Yeppers, sure does in my case. I didn't have anything other than pressure when I got mine, how I am getting some pain, but only in certain teeth, sometimes a front tooth, sometimes a canine...etc.... Biting down on things for 15 seconds and then letting up..and doing this again and again really help...

Thanks LynB!!
