close your eyes and picture what your teeth are going to look like in a year, and remember that this is just growing pains, you are going to have a truley epic smile, and you won;t remember how you feel now, when in a year your looking at the smile you have always wanted

Oh, that's good to know! I used to use turmeric in EVERYTHING until I got my brace on. I think I'll go with silver bands next time and go nuts.godutch wrote: Turmeric contains a cox2 inhibitor, supposedly good for tooth movement (eat with pepper though else it will not be biologically available )
I'm a bit scared of oil pulling, slightly worried it'll make me gag! Might give it a try, though.Skwiredmouth wrote:I eat curries with turmeric but it doesnt stain!
