Hello ther
I finally decided to join this forum after a long reading about braces. I've had my braces put in august

. I made this decision and i'm so happy i did! I mean my parents would've supported me anyway (You know, parents.... ) but it was more of a self-esteem issue, and of happiness of course.
So i got braces, got over the 'bitter attitude' of others, the paaaaaain and joined the life-changing process watching the changes with my very own eyes

.

And now the most important thing
august-november

cool eh ? I'm not quite sure if that quad helix is indeed working (i'm not sure what to look at )but oh well

I have my next adjustment this thursday

I can't wait to get rid of it though i have soo much time left.
How do you cope with time? lol

Read you:)

Hey, thanks for dropping by and for the nice words:D.
I went to the orthodontist yesterday and ....I hate how it feels when the ligatured are being replaced

( she was also pleased with how my teeth moved

,I assume in 6 months they will be straight .She had 'reshaped' the expander and activated it (!?), or maybe she meant reactivated BUT thank god it's not cutting through my tongue anymore.....Anyway I stood longer than usual to find out she had put these metal ligatures or whatever they are on a few teeth from the lower arch and Ugh! they hurt so bad now

. So the next appointment is in january when she'll take off the expander and change the upper archwire with a thicker one and only then I will be able to talk like a normal person.
Also I need to extract the wisdom teeth ..till then i guess. Yay for Christmas

poppy123 She said it's for shaping my arch in a semi oval form though i'm not sure ..it seems pretty semi oval to me:D As from what i read from the internet it's mostly used for expansion and some girl told me it's for keeping the molars in place. Pf..if anyone knows for sure please do enlight me.

I must've had all the types of tooth pain and when i'll be over with braces I swear i'll brush my teeth many many times per day and i'll stop eating candies!! *lies*

Oh by the way, has anyone had their wisdom teeth extracted during braces?
I'll keep you posted when other changes will occur, until then
All the best,
bluemoon

did you get the quad helix right away

I am wondering if I will get one anytime soon,

it looks like I might need one.
