Ditto!!!
I hope your feeling well! What helps me with those evil sores is rinsing with peroxide. Sometimes it kinda stings but the sores seem to heal alot quicker.

Thanks LeahRuth! I didnt even notice they were moving at all, it'll be the same with yours, i was getting very discouraged, its not till you compare pics that you notice
Yeah the sores are from the wires, i cant get wax to stay on at all, i've eaten so much of it so i've given up, after a day or two they go down, or even if they're still there they're only painful in a morning
oo i've never heard of rinsing with peroxide, is that safe?!?!

Happy 2 month brace anniversary for your uppers PrincessPeach
Your teeth are moving really quickly, lucky you. I tried putting wax on one of my brackets at the very back of my lowers but I ended up eating it or it getting stuck in the wires, anywhere but on the friggin sore!!!! I feel your pain
Bye bye

Oh yeah, peroxide is perfectly safe . It can be used as a mouth rinse. Just don't swallow it. You may feel sick if you do. I've used it for years. It also helps whiten your teeth.

Well i woke up this morning with a new gap
hopefully it'll close quick
Heres a pic of my uppers these days, they're not looking a whole lot different really
I havent really got a good pic from the start, they do look much improved from the start though

- Lowers are looking pretty much the same...
Persistant gap, still a gap
However i'm still happy with my overall smile, just hoping the gaps will get a move on

Hi PrincessPeach,
just read over your story, your teeth are moving so fast! Congrats! You will probably have a lot of movement for the first 6 months and then it will seem like nothing is happening, just be patient and eveyrthing will come into place Sooner than you think you'll be looking at de-brace day!

Thank you! I'm enjoying there being lots of movement, i'm hoping it carries on for as long as possible, but i want my de-bracing day to come around quick!
But i've already had my lowers for near enough 4 months now, & thats flown by, so only another 14 months to go for them

WOW your teeth are looking amazing!! I haven't logged on here in probably 2 months at least and I had to go back and look at your original pics because I knew right away that your teeth look so much different - congrats on your progress!

Had my adjustment the other day, pretty boring just a new wire for the top which is a 0.18 i think he said
Anyway, gaps seem to be opening rather than closing
Next adjustment is 11th Jan
