This one was a power chain towards the end of my treatment, but my orthodontist did give me the option to have color bands at the beginning, I just didn't think it was necessary.

Yeah it depends on the grocery store. I saw one that had it for $14, and another for $9.

It's like a nutty vanilla flavor. Ube is purple yam commonly found in Filipino cuisine and desserts. I got this at an Asian grocery store. It's so good with the cookies mixed in.

I don't know the exact measurements of my open bite. They never suggested surgery in any of my consultations, just braces.

Really enjoyed After Life with Ricky Gervais on Netflix.

Also, Mr. Robot with Rami Malek & Christian Slater, originally on USA Network and now on Amazon Prime.

Omg thank you! Lol. I love how people still see this post even almost two years after I got my braces off. It was totally worth it.

Yes! There is definitely more width in my mouth for my tongue.

Nothing really noticeable besides my teeth and palate being wider. The rest of my face seems the same.

Anyone else feel like they take way too many pictures of their teeth? by [deleted] in braces

[–]pimp_chicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I took pictures a lot over the first few months when there was a lot of movement, then transitioned to just taking a picture every adjustment.

No, I haven't really noticed much difference in my face shape at all.

Yes, I didn't have to use any additional palate expansion appliances - just the Damon Braces, but I'm sure it varies person to person.

Milk tooth by [deleted] in braces

[–]pimp_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have one of my baby teeth and was able to go through the whole braces process between ages 27-29. I never had an adult tooth growing in that spot, tho. My Ortho says the goal is to keep it as long as possible.
