I beat the system
Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 8:29 pm
Hi.
I am coming up to my 12th adjustment (i.e. one year), and I think I finally beat the system. I think I've got it all figured out.
For the first time I tried clear ligs, and I was very pleased with how 'braceless' I looked with my ceramic uppers. That is, until I ate Shahi Paneer (a vegetarian Indian dish similar to butter chicken - PM me for a great recipe), which turned the ligs yellow. When I picked up my daughter from school, one of her friends walked up to me and said, "You have yellow teeth". I went into action and picked up Tom's of Maine Natural Baking Soda toothpaste (about $4.99 Canadian), Colgate's MicroSonic Toothbrush (20 000 strokes per minute, AA battery included, $4.98 Canadian!!), and the really cool purchase, the Waterpick flossing tool, which does GREAT FLOSSING WITH NO THREADERS, NO SUPERFLOSS, NO B.S., it's so easy! (about $9.00 Canadian, includes built-in battery, and 10 replacement tips). I finish with the waterpick and Oral-B anti-cavity rinse (with fluoride).
After I was done my ligs were next to white, my mouth tingled, and I was smug.
I hope this information helps somebody.
Cheers
Glen
