    Your teeth will be sore for at least two weeks and then probably for another two months it’ll take you to get used to just having the braces in your mouth because they’re gonna annoy you to the living end of daze, rubbing and scraping like a saw blade inside your mouth. Get ready to use a lot of wax. I use a whole pack every two days.

    I don't know a single person that wears retainers at night and I'll feel really sheepish and embarrassed if i have someone over/date someone. It's still not imminent but will happen once the braces come off again.

    Yet again, the medical profession seems to forget that they are in the employ of the patient, NOT the other way round! If a patient doesn’t want to wear rubber bands, he doesn’t have to! If a patient doesn’t want treatment time extended, he doesn’t have to accept it!! When will the medical profession realise they must do what the patient wants!?

      But that’s basically what ur signing up for when u get braces from an orthodontist provider.. yes it’s about making patients comfortable but the treatment won’t work so why would we skip these things?

      @@kim_mie The orthodontist should think of something else or, at the very least, detail EVERY part of the treatment BEFORE it is commenced.
