Pucca26's Lingual story - Lingual braces came off!!!
Moderator: bbsadmin
Hi Lionfish thanks for being there,
I think I will ask my ortho the white wire and if I don't like it I will ask for a normal one when my ortho has to change it. I don't know how log I have to use the same archwired as I got upper replaced every 10 days, maybe normal braces are different.
The yellow ligs are not the same as the blue I had, I always got ligs changed at every appointment, if you see carefully they are different because the blue ligs were only for one bracket, the new lig is joint to close the little gaps I had, I think the name is powerchain. I also had 2nd wire thickness at last appointment, which is good because it’s the 2dn of 7 phases of treatment.
Lion, how is your treatment? I’d like you to post pics, Do you have e-braces or orcmo?

I don't know what brand I've got, pucca26; I only know they're small so they could be StB. Dunno really.
Re my treatment: I've had 2 wire changes on top since starting, and one on the bottom. Things are moving slowly but surely, but there's a long way to go yet. I am due to start elastics in 3 weeks time; I hope to see some progress in bite closing from then on in.
I'm very slack when it comes to pics. Haven't taken any since I started. But things could change!!

Hi again, I haven’t posted for few weeks because I wanted so see movement before uploading pics and today I took some photos again after several days and I could see some good movement since the day I got my lower braces 18 days ago.
Here is a pic
As you can see my ligs got yellow and I didn’t get the white archwired I wanted, I was a little disappointed because I always told my ortho that I wanted a white one, and she always said it was ok, but when time to get my lower braces came, she said white arch was awful and she wouldn’t use it anymore because it was not good.
I don’t care about it now but I was really angry that day. In fact, I don’t show the lower braces when I talk or smile.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Lionfish!
Thanks for replying, how are you?
I’m adjusting well to the ceramics, the first week I got some sores but it’s ok now. I didn’t have eating or speech problems as I had with linguals, but anyway I think linguals are more comfortable.
I fell good but when I think I‘ll have it in my mouth for 1 or 2 more years I fell a little down, I want to finish as soon as possible. That's why I love fast movement

I agree with you that the linguals are more comfortable. She hasn't been around for a while, but I think lysachick might say the same thing.
I'm trying not to think how much longer all this stuff is going to be in my mouth. It seems to grow every time I go in for an appointment .
Hi, I haven't come here for a long time and I wanted to show you a pic from last year before starting the treatment and a new pic, I can't believe how my smile have changed, it's amazing!
I will show you later my lower pics, they are going good, too.

Hi again,
I wanted to post new pics.
Both lower bicuspids are still crocked.
I'm a little worried about a lower canine, it's root surfaces is exposed, I wonder if it's normal.
Thanks Kiwi, Lionfish, Sjsarre and Rage31!!!!!
