I took a nap this afternoon...and it happened! Dreaded braces dream. In it I felt a pop and the wire and brackets on my bottom teeth popped off, leaving grossly rotten teeth behind.

I often have dreams about teeth! I normally dream that they're all falling out. I'll be playing about with one of my teeth and it comes away in my hand, or crumbles to pieces. Yuk! It's like a terror dream where you are left with a yawning black hole where your teeth were! ha ha

Oh I had The Dream(tm) as well, earlier on. I swear I would never have had it if it wasn't for this place, because I had no clue until coming here that brackets could fall off!
So far - touch wood - mine haven't fallen off. Except in that damn dream
This site is a God sent, I nearly freaked a week or so ago when I dreamed my brackets started popping off and my teeth along with them. It was like a domino effect! When I finally woke up, I couldn't help running my tongue across my brackets to make sure they were still there. LOL!
argh, the dreaded "dream"! I dreamt the other week that a tooth fell out, and just dangled from my mouth secured by the bracket Ive always had dreams about my teeth falling out, so nice to see they evolve...
Wow! I had "The Dream" a couple of weeks ago and I had forgotten about it until I read this posting. In my dream, one bracket just fell off! I was unusually calm about it. I just pulled it on out and took it with me when I went back to the ortho! LOL If that happened in real life, I'd have a heart attack! I would SO overreact!
Hey I often dream about teeth too. Since my upper brace (well half of it) came off once, I’m constantly checking if everything is in place.
Today I dreamt that my whole brace had popped out!!! I was really scared… first thing I did was check everything out. I can’t wait until my teeth are done, hopefully I will calm down then.
Good luck,
Joe
Next Ortho. consultations: Dec. 26 & January 16

I had a dream this morning that the archwire on both my top and bottom teeth started coming off. (Which, of course, is odd because I don't actually have my bottom teeth wired yet.)
Anyhow, brackets were falling off everywhere, the wire was coming out, and my two front teeth were literally ready to fall out. I pushed the archwire up against them to keep them in place.
Hahaha! That is SO funny.. You juyst reminded me of the dream I had awhile ago.. I too never thought Id get the dreaded crazy braces dream.. In my dream I was about to go on a date with my now husband... and just as I opened my mouth all my teeth fell out and disinegrated! Right infront of him... I was cryibg and calling my prtho but he was no where to be found! What a nightmare! lol
I haven't had any more since thank goodness!
27 and Braced!!
