I'm Kim, 21, and have had my braces on for nearly 2 months now. I've always needed braces since I was a kid, but my parents were unable to afford it. The dentist basically said to leave it until I was old enough to afford to pay for it myself.
In the past 2 months, I've definiately notice a difference in the movement in my teeth, more so in the first month. This month, not so much movement going on that I can notice (but can feel, isn't that strange), but my partner says he can notice a slight difference in my facial features, obviously in my jaw area.
Also, My orthodontist recommended this to me http://www.gcasia.info/content_GC_Tooth_Mousse.html . The dental assistant told me it was to help prevent getting cavities, due to not being able to clean my teeth as well due being in braces. (Mainly more common in children, rather than adults). I've been using it morning and night after cleaning my teeth since I've had my braces on, and my teeth feel and look stronger, and my gums are a nice pink colour, rather than a dark pink. My whole mouth just feels healthier.
If I don't use it, I don't feel clean for some reason. Maybe its in my head, but I can't stress more how much I love this product. I wish I was using it before I had braces as well! Is there anyone else out there that uses anything special?
