I got all four out 7 hours ago, have only taken Tylenol because I didn’t have ibuprofen. The pain is there but not unbearable, will I be okay with just Tylenol?
Also can I have mashed potatoes for dinner or is there any reason to wait until tomorrow?
I have braces and am used to struggling to eat so I’m not worried about the eating it part, just if it’s safe.
Had my five month adjustment today, new wires and added a powerchain on my top front 6 teeth. I thought the worst was over (and it hasn’t even been that bad) but no… powerchains are a new level of pain and torture
Why do so many people fail to wear them? Are they uncomfortable? Does it make eating continue to be a hassle after braces are off?
I read that first day can be good because if it’s cancelled for weather, it could still get moved. Does CocoCay get cancelled often? (We’re planning to go in May).
That aside, is it worth paying more for Star of the seas for CocoCay to be at the start of the trip? Is it more relaxing to have it one day or another?
I have a huge overbite that I didn’t have before, three months into braces. Google says this is normal but it’s scary. Did this happen to anyone here and will elastics fix it? I was told I won’t need extractions.
I’m almost three months in and my bite has become pretty messed up (overbite much worse and teeth don’t touch on one side, can’t comfortably close mouth).
I had only my top set for the first two months so I know my bottom teeth are still spreading out, but this bite is uncomfortable and I’m actually hoping for elastics soon lol. But ortho said it’d be a while at my last appt. My next one is in three weeks!
They’re much higher maintenance than I remember lol
I’m just over two months into braces. I had my tops only until 2 weeks ago. My top arch has widened and created quite a large overbite that I didn’t have before and I can’t close my mouth without straining my chin.
Is this normal or something I should call and ask about?
I look so ugly if I try to close my mouth.
I feel so ugly with poofed out lips, feel like I look like I’ve got a mouth full. I miss my soft mouth. Please tell me it goes back to normal and it’s not my actual teeth pushing out my mouth?!
I’m a little over two months in and feeling ugly! I feel like my front teeth are protruding but google tells me it’s part of the early phase so those teeth can rotate first.
I’ve heard so much that it gets worse before it gets better and I just need some motivation right now to keep me from going insane!
I had minimal pain on my top braces and I did expect more pain on the bottom. It seems to be mostly the front four. The pain woke me up in the night. Normal?
I woke up in a nasty mood, can’t wait to get past this awful part!
Every time I close and open a project, all of the media is unlinked and attempts to re-link it brings up "The importer reported a generic error" pop-up. Moving the files to a new folder did not help. Every single file on the timeline is offline.
I have tried clearing my cache and uninstalling/reinstalling Premiere. Is there any other solution to this?
I have to edit a wedding video for a client and this is making me lose my mind.
I get my bottoms braces on next week, it’ll be about two months since I had the tops on. I feel like I’m just getting used to them and now will have to start over with the bottoms.
Is it weird, or is it easy to adjust since you’ve done it already once? Does it hurt worse? I’ve had little pain on the tops.
I’ve been sort of miserable my first 1 1/2 months with braces because I’m constantly paranoid about my hygiene and I deprive myself of food and things I love (coffee, etc.) Even though I brush 3x a day and floss and water floss and rinse while eating etc. I’m still worried I’ll get white spots.
Anyone have reassurance?
My bottom front teeth have a rough feeling with what I assume is thin/damaged enamel and I’m getting nervous about the bottom braces coming on. Neither my ortho or my dentist said anything about it when I got the tops on.
Has anyone had braces with thin enamel/weak teeth without issues?
I’m one month into braces (only tops, get my bottoms in a month) and I feel like I’m losing it. It’s not painful or even the looks that bother me. It’s the anxiety and the hassle.
Eating is a pain so I’m hungry a lot of the time just bc I don’t want to deal with it. I’m anxious about everything I eat and drink. I miss coffee, wine, edibles, sweets. I know I can have them all but I just feel guilty and anxious when I do so I just don’t.
I have a 30 min nightly hygiene routine, I rinse thoroughly and use interdental brushes after I eat anything at all.
I’m also constantly getting posts in my algorithm about why braces are bad, negative experiences, etc. I’m constantly worried something will go wrong.
It’s just all stressful and I think I’m burnt out already.
Any tips or words of wisdom? Reassurance? I’m 28, if it matters.
