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

Neither have mine...and my teeth are just fine too. But holey moley...my dream freaked me out!

i had the "braces dream" too...

In that dream, the brackets fell and my teeth became loose...

But there's always a good explanation:
i went to the ortho for my first adjustment that day, and i was feeling some discomfort

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

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.

Bizarre, eh?

I'm yet to have any dreams yet

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!
