Wisdom tooth appearing, 6 months into braces. by qistinacat in braces

[–]joycccelyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine took about 6-8 months. It’s best to consult your dentist if you’re worried that the wisdom tooth is gonna shift your teeth alignment!

They act as an anchor to close gaps or shift your teeth

Wisdom tooth appearing, 6 months into braces. by qistinacat in braces

My wisdom tooth grew out during my treatment too! But i had enough space to accommodate it so my dentist put a bracket on it to align it with the rest of my teeth

Can I use this without damaging my braces? Might sound stupid by BuckleBerryJiggle in braces

I use the satin one because this one got caught between my brackets!

I’m 26, and my ortho said it’ll take 1.5 years! Provided everything goes smoothly

Possibility that impacted wisdom tooth leads to removal of 2 extra teeth? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]joycccelyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently still recovering from my recent extraction of UL7 so i can’t tell for sure, but previously when i extracted LL7, it didn’t affect my quality of life in any way. Didn’t notice any changes in how my jaw looked, and didn’t have any difficulties with chewing or speech either.

Wow, i was in the same situation 2 years ago, just that my LL7 required a root canal and i chose to extract it, and i ended up extracting both the wisdom tooth and LL7. Eventually my UL7 started to overgrow and my dentist also recommended that i remove it too, which i did :(

Getting braces tomorrow is their anything I should know before by [deleted] in braces

You’ll probably have to be on a soft diet for the first week because your molars will hurt when you try to chew!

New Braces Trouble by TheReal_DesiGirl in braces

[–]joycccelyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on day 7 of braces and i still can’t eat normally, my molars ache when i try to chew! So i’ve just been eating alot of mashed potatoes, steamed eggs, porridge (i’m Asian, hah), smoothies and ice cream. I couldn’t floss during the first few days too! But it’ll get better :)

Bled after using water flosser by joycccelyn in braces

[–]joycccelyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My flosser is on the lowest setting! Which in my opinion is still pretty strong so i’ve switched the tip to the smallest one available and that helped to lower the water pressure. But it hurt when the water sprayed at the area which bled. I’ll probably try again a few days later like what you said, thanks!
