kind of new

#1 Post by Trixxcuit »

I posted questions before I even introduced myself, didn't even scroll down to see anything else. So I figure I should properly introduce myself.

So far my experience with braces has been the following:
Well summer 04 I got all the x-rays and information.
From about November 04 - February 05 at various different times getting a top and bottom retainers(that could be taken out) then having my bottom retainer replaced with a wire. During this time they forgot to tell me to stop turning my bottom retainer and so my teeth got all spread out and gappy, but after having it out for a week or two they got back together.
Late February got braces on my top teeth.
Recently (August) I got my top retainer replaced with a rick-a-nator (which appears not to be so popular due to limited online information which makes me a little bit worried) cemented into my mouth. Also got brackets on four of my bottom teeth and the joy of wearing elastics. I thought the retainers were bad until now.


I haven't had much happen but oh well. This process suppose to take 2 and a half years. So I'm going to be here awhile. :wink:

And I just want to note that from the posts I've seen so far, everyone seems so inviting, helpful and really nice!

Welcome!

I'm also a newbie to this board and am getting braced in just a few weeks. I've found everyone to be extremely helpful and friendly here, as well.

Good luck to you! :D

Braces went on yesterday. Full top and bottom. I've never heard of a rick-a-nator but they put towers on 2 lower molars to keep me from biting off the bottom brackets. I feel your pain with the lisp. As one who has always had good speech, this is going to be fun.

I was expecting more more soreness but I guess is hasn't been 24 hours yet. Can already see some movement.

Good luck.
