Krysia I think shes bit young to be encouraged to drink :)

I assume becauise tis removable you'll be able to take it out before you go out in public. If so I wouldnt worry about dribbling in private, people who love you won't care. But do be careful your face doesnt get sore.

Liz, let me encourage you to keep going. My DD3 had a removable brace (upper and lower) fitted at the end of October. She had to wear this all the time day and night for 9 months in order to move her lower jaw forward. We went back to the Orthodontist this week (4 months!) and he said "This is what happens when patients follow our advice" :D:D The job is done and she now only wears the braces at night. :D:D So much better because she can have a crisp/sweet/biscuit when her friends offer her one. Before she had to say no because it was too much bother taking the brace out, cleaning her teeth and putting it back in again.

 

So try really hard to follow the advice you have been given, then the job will be done as quickly as possible.

 

DD3 gets fixed braces in May :( She won't be able to play her French Horn for a while then, about 6 months.

ewwwwwwww i used to remember mine, looked like a shrimp! It used to trigger my gag reflex and i couldn't talk properly. Everyone kept telling me that i'd get used to it! I'm afraid i didn't perservere so the dentist put a permanent brace on instead.

 

I do sympathise :(

 

Try and perservere ;)

You have my sympathies Liz

 

I had a brace years ago that I had to wear through the day and out at night. I remember the day it was fitted and my mum was with me.

We had to get the bus back home and without thinking asked the bus driver for

 

"thoo thingles tho the thirckle pleathse"

 

It was meant to be "two singles to the circle please" :lol:

 

Over a few days they'll settle and you'll be fine. And think of the end result.

 

Sadly my brace was not a success and within three weeks of it being removed my teeth moved back :(

Richard, you are silly...but you did make me laugh! I didn't wear it whilst I was at school today, but wore it all night and am wearing it now.

 

BTW, I can't actually eat whilst wearing it as my teeth aren't able to bit together properly and I just bite plastic-even though my dentist said I should wear it whilst eating-I did try, but it just doesn't work, and then you get salivary food all stuck in it!!! :lol:

 

I have to go back in two weeks anyway to get a fixed brace attached to my lower teeth. Thankfully it is half term down here next week, so that will make life a whole lot easier.

 

Am currently entertaining myself by uploading my CD albums onto the purple ipod shuffle I bought yesterday, so that's keeping my mind off mostly!

Just bear with it for a while Liz, I had braces fitted when I was 28 and lisped and slurped for a few days until I got used to it :lol: after a while you will be fine.

Really? Do you think I could have braces to fix my teeth too? I have a sticky out front tooth which really bugs me and I've been considering having it taken out or capped, but if I could have a brace....

maybe cheaper to have the wretched thing capped. It's got a filling in it anyway, which is discoloured (thank you so much, incompetent dentist man). It stops me from smiling though, which is a sign I ought to have it fixed I think. Might look around and see which dentists do friendly finance. then I could have them whitened too, and make up for all those years of smoking.

My dughter has the opposite problem :( . She has an underbite, would love a brace to push her front teeth out over her lower teeth..........but our lovely dentist assures us that a brace wouldn't resolve that problem. She needs major surgery to her lower jaw to break it and reposition it :shock: . Our dentist (whom I trust implicitly) says that it's major surgery, painful, probably not on the NHS because her jaw functions perfectly so we'd be doing it purely for cosmetic reasons. He says he'd refuse to put his daughter through it, and quite honestly I hate the idea of putting mine through it. But Immi is becoming increasingly self conscious as she gets older, and can't understand why she can't just have a brace like so many of her friends. I'm torn, and keep having these difficult debates, which are always resolved by the fact that it'd be pretty darned difficult to find the kind of money needed for that surgery at the moment, so we keep delaying a decision until she's older. And I thank my lucky stars that she's fit and healthy, and simply has a slightly annoying jaw, no disabilities or health problems :D:D:D

 

The brace is horrible I'm sure Liz, but endure it as best as you can, and the more you can manage to wear it the quicker it should work.........and you'll have fabulous straight teeth by the time you've finished 8) .

My ES plays the trumpet. When he had a fixed brace his teacher gave him a euphonium which has a much bigger mouth piece. He managed to play that no problem. Don't know if it could be a substitute for a French Horn though :? .
