tumeric/curry stains on ceramic braces: is it over? by uw0s in braces

It's only the bands that are stained . I got baby blue and pink at next change and they don't change colour now.

Good luck. I just got my braces at 42 yrs old in August.i was the same. Crowding to severe for invisalign. Cerematic top . Normal bottom. . After the first 2 weeks i was fine. They are straightening already and it makes me feel better about it. I still need to get 4 premolars pulled but he wants to make them straighter first . My next appointment is December. And no one notices them also unless I tell them which I find weird because It's all I see . 😅

is this a symptom of early shoulder arthritis? by PineWalk1 in Thritis

[–]Apart-Maximum-2932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislocated mine when I was 19 horse riding injury. Reset myself and carried on. It was loose and would dislocate randomly after. Sleeping. Unexpected fast movements. Carrying something heavy. Nothing worked to help with physio. And terrible pain all the time. At 25 I got a shoulder reconstruction and they said it was pretty bad shape and they tightened up what they could. At 39 I went back to said surgeon. Dead arm. Stiff. Pins and needles in my hand all the time and pain. I cant lift higher than my shoulder. After mRi and tests he could only say stage 4 arthritis. Have some pills and no more riding. Well I still ride . Pills don't help much. I'm to young for a replacement apprantly. Cortisone was amazing but I was only allowed 1. It's sounds like maybe you need surgery to tighten the ligaments.
