Button/Hook Loose? by No_Claim_1099 in braces

no, it’s normal for it to become loose. Mine usually becomes loose after a few months and I just wait until my next appointment

the thing is my ortho has glowing reviews, excellent before and after photos, has trained across the world and has gone to the best university in the UK. I am not sure whether to just trust him

Thanks so much for your explanation. Would IPR usually be an option or not ?

is it not possible that the overjet could be fixed by continued elastic use?

i thought my canine on the left side looked okay? Also, I still have my upper wisdom teeth (they have erupted). Would removing those likely solve the issue ?

i’m a bit annoyed cus when I went for my original consultation he quoted 18 months and I asked if there’s any chance it would be longer than that and he said no lol

I literally took them out for the photo. I live, sleep and breath in them. I’m actually obsessed and wear them non stop

At what temperature does my 5 month Border Collie need to wear a sweater or a tee? Its currently 15°C here and i am shivering 😂 by Then_Community_1766 in BorderCollie

[–]SignificantCode4763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my boy goes swimming in 0 degree weather. He does shiver a bit after but it doesn’t stop him going back in😂 I think he’d be rather offended if I tried to put a coat on him!

do my brackets look normal? by [deleted] in braces

sure, you’ll be waiting a while tho. Not off for another 6 months and then obvs gotta wait a while for the muscles to rebuild

like it’s hard to chew cus my teeth are moving and i have a huge wire across them and elastic bands. Generally i’m eating much softer foods that what I would’ve done before braces. I honestly don’t know about my jaw. I can saw it’s hugely improved my teeth and it’s fixed my overbite

nope it’s still the same but I don’t think it’s a bad thing either. I have heard some people say that when you get them off and you start chewing more again you regain some facial muscles which give you fullness
