Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Week 13
Dang, this recent adjustment was painful, but the discomfort subsided after a few days thankfully. The dentist said "More Power" while he tightened it. He is Chinese and his English is ok, just hope he knows what he is doing, yikes! My gap seems to be closing a lot faster now. I asked my cousin if she saw any difference and she said "No", lol But I am seeing changes in the gap, thanks to pictures. I never really cared about the spaces in my lower teeth before braces but they were tilted to one side and now they are more vertical since I started wearing braces.
Week 9 update
I see tiny increments of change, I'm not too bothered by the rate of change. I'm looking forward to seeing where my teeth will be 6 months from now. My next appointment was supposed to be 27th November but my orthodontist had to reschedule to Dec 4th.
I must say every time I get my front teeth tightened I almost pass out from the pain LOL
Even though the space is closing very slowly, I never realised how large my gap had gotten over time!! I don't know why I took so long to close it perhaps because I never felt insecure about it until recently. People in China have been asking if I am missing a tooth!! I think that's when I realised, ok, time to make a change.

6 Week Pictures
I have had one tightening session so far. I am seeing very slight changes, I actually didn't expect to see anything happening so soon. I am not impatient about it either, shockingly. I just want this to be done safely.
My two top, front teeth were previously kicked out at the base like the legs of the letter 'A', now they seem parallel to each other. I have another tightening in less than 2 weeks. Each session has been one month apart so far.
