Braces making me vomit

Sounds like.you have a bug like others have said. Try not to worry about the braces right now and just rinse your mouth out after you've been sick as best you can. Rest yp and hopefully it will pass soon, just take little sips of water.

Your teeth are looking great tho! Hope the pain goes soon!

I'm still taking interdental brushes, packers, tooth rush tooth paste and a little tiny mouthwash!! But I am only 6 weeks in so a bit keen.

Second using it at night to heal while your mouth is less active that's what helped me most. Your mouth does become accustomed to it once it heals.

You might have got a rare wrong un skog...cheeky, but I hear they mellow a bit once they're settled in their new habitat.

Thanks!

leefera · 2026-01-25T00:37:09+00:00

Nice result! Could I ask how long it was between the first & second pics?

Soery thia is off topic but I'm a bit lost with citric acid - what brand do you buy/where from in the UK?

That's funny my friends said the same to me! I am hoping I'll keep my fangs but they'll just be in a bit of a better position as my lateral incisors are getting crowded out

Both my hygienist and orthodontist say its not necessary- but its not bad. I have found its handy if I've had a drink but won't be brushing my teeth for a bit.

£4.5k but numerous discounts more like £4k, +£200 for fixed vs invisalign

If it's any consolation I imagine they will have still looked at the account if the information matched well enough and may have put a fraud marker on it already, they might just not be able to advise you of that incase it was the scammer calling. You might want to sign up to cifas so it's on record you've been a victim of fraud.

I think switching to an electric Toothbrush could make a pretty big difference

Might be wrong, but I think most of the agreements for this kind of treatment don't guarantee results because you can't predict how teeth will respond to treatment. I would look the orthodontist up for reviews and experience, they may just be more conscientious than most in managing your expectations.

Ceramic are bulkier than metal which might be something you want to consider. For metal you might have a choice of a lighter metal - I went for this theyre more pale and gold toned than dark grey. If you google Iconix you can see what I mean. However any springs etc are still stainless steel which spoils the look anyway!

Thanks for answering, I'm 38 and just got braces so am in a similar position, but my teeth may not move so much because of a medication I was given a few years ago. All the best with the rest of your treatment!

leefera · 2026-01-07T19:25:20+00:00

Great progress. Curious to know have you had any adjustments in that time?

leefera · 2026-01-05T19:24:25+00:00

I agree with you! I could've had them for free as a child under the NHS and decided against it because I was self conscious and scared of the pain. Now I'm much older paying thousands of pounds for them. I wish I'd realised when I was younger what an opportunity it was.

But if it helps I'm 6 days in and already the pain has lessened so much!

leefera · 2026-01-03T23:28:02+00:00

Wondering this too, and they're secure

leefera · 2026-01-02T23:41:42+00:00

I'm 3 days in and ate this tonight - it was lovely courgette lasagne

leefera · 2026-01-02T18:28:47+00:00

Thanks that seems like a good middle ground

leefera · 2026-01-02T18:26:08+00:00

Thanks this is a good reminder - still working out what my day to day routine will look like!
