Ceramic Braces to Finish the Job Invisalign Didn't - Houston, TX

Funny story, on my 16 wk appt they told me that my teeth might be really sore on that 3rd appt from when I first got the braces because the 1st 1-2 visits are really just to get you used to wearing the braces and then about the 3rd visit they put thicker wires and in my case chains on the teeth. It really didn't even seem that painful on the visit when they did all that, but 48-72 hrs after I couldn't hardly eat anything at all. Yep, I felt the soreness. Days later I had this slight smile looking in my mirror - looking on with hope at the nice way my teeth were starting to space distally. That was my goal. It's starting to happen! A lot my my friends who know me, said "Why are they even putting chains on your teeth? Your teeth are straight..." Well maybe, but they are not spaced distally the way I want yet. I specifically wanted a certain look. I never liked the bunched up look. I like a wider smile. I even had some fear that the chains might pull my teeth back to a bunched look. Hopefully it's pushing them evenly back into the space created.

Wow, it looks like you are going through a lot with the removal. It's so difficult to project exactly how you want your teeth to be. I hope you eventually get what you want.

I believe it. Not only do men and women notice this, but employers too. I once worked at a place that hung a sign that said "If you have bad hygenie or teeth, don't apply here." OMG, that's hurtful but true.

I can see the widen gaps beside each front tooth. It's like a destruction zone:) Ha. I can only hope they come together well without re-bunching. Thanks though.

I like to see older people realizing they are worthy of braces at any age. Nice teeth are noticed.
