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!!
