After 40 years I'm finally going to do it, on April 19th I will be having braces put on. I'm a bit apphrensive, and a bit excited about it, but really appreciate this website and the info I've received. I've already purchased a Dentakit, lip protectors and a waterpik so I'm trying to be prepared. Hello everyone!

Thank you!

Congratulations and good luck KateEd. Sounds like you are ahead of the game with your dentakit.

Waterpik!

I've been braced for two weeks now and starting to get used to them, barely. The waterpik is my last step in cleaning and really makes my mouth feel truly clean. I've always hated having food between my teeth so I'm a fanatic about getting rid of it, I have always carried toothpicks, now I cart floss around, Crest glide floss threaders are the best, along with the travel slim wire brushes. I have a regular waterpik for home and a travel one to take to the office. Yes, definitely invest in a waterpik, it's worth it!
