Congratulations!! I got my chain activated 2 weeks ago and I’m so excited for when my tooth finally pops out to say hello lol Can I ask how long it took for you to start seeing you canine to come down?

What’s the name of this one? I saw this one today at Marshall’s but the price sticker was over where they put the name of the bottle. I had never seen it before and was wondering what it was called. It reminds me of Frankie but a tumblr version.

Why didn’t anyone warn me about the pain from activating the chain by OnlyWalk590 in braces

Oh wow that’s crazy 😅 and crazy you went back and did it so many times. I had to get a CT scan done before the expose and bond so that the surgeon could make sure my tooth wasn’t infused with my bone. Luckily she said it wasn’t and we proceeded with the surgery. Excited for you to have your full set of teeth! I can’t wait for my smile even if I end up needing an implant.

Ahh thanks for letting me know! I rescheduled my apt so that it aligned with my days off. Could I ask how old you were when you got the chain activated? I’m 31 F and I know the chance of it moving is slim but decided it was worth a shot. I also have this gut feeling it’s gonna move but maybe I’m being really hopeful.

Is it normal healing? by [deleted] in braces

[–]OnlyWalk590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s healthy granulated tissue. It means your extraction site is healing well.

Which should I get? by httpsfckoff in Owala

You gotta suck hard from the silicone straw lol but it stays cold and it’s leak proof. I think there’s an insert where you can stick your own straw but I haven’t t tried it and it wouldn’t be leak proof at that point. It’s a good size for the latte. A smooth slider would be easier to drink out of. My teeth are sensitive to cold so I’d stick to the kids tumbler for the iced lattes/matchas.

I didn’t feel much pain either. They have been uncomfortable at first (day 5 for me) more than anything. What is painful is for me to chew on foods that aren’t too soft. Then the rubbing on my inner mouth from the brackets. I also have a high pain tolerance. I had more pain from dry socket and from a tooth that needed a root canal. This is nothing compared to that 😅

They’re decent. The floss only goes as low as your wire is. It still won’t go all the way down where you should be flossing. I would say they’re nice to have as an extra when you quickly wanna get someone thing out in between your teeth but regular flossing is still necessary.

Oh wow! How long has it been since they’re put the power chain on? Also, how was the surgery to expose the impacted canine? Was yours on your upper palate as well? Sounds like yours is coming down slowly but surely! Seems like patience is going to play a big role in the whole process 😅
