My teeth are moving!

#1 Post by NatalieMac »

Ha ha. So I probably sound like a dork. Of course my teeth are moving.

I've been braced a week. Today was the first time I attempted flossing because I've been so sore.

And...aside from having to work the floss all around the wires and stuff it was easy! The floss just glided right in and out - that's a first! It's usually getting all stuck and sometimes fraying. And then I noticed that there's a visible little gap in the front.

:)

And I didn't even get my extractions yet.

Hello NatalieMac :-1

Congratulations on movement. :-)o

I have been braced for a week now also and I had the same problem. My floss would get stuck and fray and become a mess! It just got easier for me too. Glad to hear someone is in the same boat as me.

May I ask, what kind of floss are you using?

I am using Glide threader floss. Some came in my DentaKit and then my goofy boyfriend gave me a coupon to buy more. :-)

Hi NatalieMac!

That's great to hear! I know how you feel- I was so thrilled when I finally had space between some of my teeth. Now the gaps are fairly visible, but I don't care- I love having them there for the timebeing!

Here's to lots more movement!

Congrats on the quick movement! It is pretty cool when you can get that floss to come back out unscathed! YEAH!
