Thanks Nikki ! im awaiting for my 2nd check up.. btw, do u all hv prob in flossing the teeth? i still can master it, just use inter brush to clean the cling teeth ..

just wanna ask...my bracket fall down today and i already fix it..by dr.ramond..but the nurse..burn my bracket...bcoz stil got glue up thr..so now 2 of my bracket bcome black color..so UGLY..
anyone of u experience it before?of when ur bracket fall down..how u guys get rid of the glue?

Burn the bracket?? It has nvr happen to me b4... I dunno how they get rid of the glue... However, if the same bracket fall out too many times, Doctor will suggest to change another bracket (need to pay). Cos the old bracket may not be able to use anymore.

i dunno why they wanna burn my bracket..now it is black color:(

Nvm la, just dun smile so big...start training ur smile lo.

show us your photos maybe? haha..

i scared regret is becoz i might get nothing in this two years (or more) period. Dr said i need to go for jaw surgery if want perfect result.
But i choose not, so he will only try to save my teeth/jaw.

livon6699, I'll try my best after finals

FOnte, I think we're in the same boat. But I decided not to undergo surgery & just allow screws to help me at its maximum ! It's alright, our imperfections makes us up !

Trust me, doctor will help u to obtain the best result he cud. I hv gummy smile n protruding upper Jaw, or they call it overbite? I dint go for surgery. Doctor say he will try his best By using screws to pull it in. Screws may not help that much but also enuff to see difference.

It takes lOnger time to complete the treatment but I won't mind.

Last time I look weird if I smile without showing teeth. Now I can... Although still a bit weird but not as weird as b4.

Anywayz, here is my photo.

i went to clinic today with my cousin as she wants to have braces consultation. and i had my wire cut too. then i asked Dr Raymond, how long is my treatment left. and he said, for my open bite case, might need one year and three months. so sad T_T.. so it will be 18 months, counted with his expectation.

Livon, mind to share some pics? im curious abt your condition...Thx
