Adult Ceramic Braces-No movement.....

Hello, and thanks for reading my blog. I have not been posting lately because really there is nothing to update on. I had no movement on the top  in February or March 2015'. This was quite depressing, but I am only looking at the fact that they will be removed this year, not February 2016'

As I am typing this my mouth is starting to come alive. For one I have two power chains on on the top row and just one set on bottom. My appointments are still once a month, not every six weeks like before.

Today I actually gulped a hamburger down, lol. I was starving, but that Whopper was the bomb.com!! My mouth will be really intolerable when eating tommorow, so I had to enjoy it, lol.

As far as movement goes, he says that the top has moved faster than the bottom, and that my teeth are being stubborn. It is funny because it makes it seem as if teeth have a mind of their own. She did tell me it would file my teeth down after removal, and that, yippee!!

The one thing I can say is this, it hurts like hell the day after, it really bothers you when you eat, you can't bite down or eat anything hard. For me it's uncomfortable for five days. This last time it seemed as if it were longer this time.

See you at next blog post, and Thanks for reading my blog!

Adult Ceramic Braces-No movement in February 2015', now what????

So February 6, 2014 made one year for my top braces and in April this month I will have had my braces on the bottom one full year. Well, when I went to my dental appointment in March, my dentist was not happy with my progress. He said I should have had more movement on the top, but now I recommend no CERAMIC CLEAR BRACES on top!!!!

They in my opinion move your teeth way slower and they do stain!! I thought my braces would come off in 6 months which would have been August of this year. Unfortunately at the rate my teeth are moving, it might be a little longer. I am not happy, lol, but I do not want any damage along the way.

The things I have experienced this far:

I wear a band on the side that is closing slowly, my dentist suggested I wear it at night, I wear it all the time, lol. I have experienced a little movement now.

I have experienced  more sensitivity to cold on my back top teeth, I guess nerves are exposed because there is no cavity.

I will have to have my one wisdom tooth removed because it is going to stuck in the back all alone. There will probably be a gap in the back and food will get trapped, and then there goes more problems.

As I mentioned above, there is a stain on my front brace, it is very noticeable, but hey that's nothing, just thankful its on the brace not my tooth.

I chew in the opposite side now, I used to chew on the side with the wisdom tooth but, I have had to change sides because I have to wear a rubber band on it now.

No pics because there is no update! Everything looks the same. I'll keep you posted!!
